Note that the guest OS needs to support raising the memory above the

The last time I looked (which was a long time ago), Linux did not
support this either.
I think you mean "needs to support raising the max memory above the
original allocation". Certainly Solars/Linux support raising "memory"
above the original allocation via the balloon drivers.
Actually I was quite surprised that it was even possible to raise
max-memory. It almost seems like a contradiction in terms. It
essentially makes max-memory a pretty useless concept for a guest. E.g.,
you might imagine you could permanently size data structures dealing
with memory based on this value, but no.
