We're running KVM in with the host passthrough for the cpu. This allows the guest to have exactly the same definitions for the processor as on the hypervisor.

We would like to be able to do the same thing for the RAM. From dmidecode, we do not get the RAM speed. 

Would it be possible to have a memory passthrough option or can you suggest a different way to achieve this ? We need the memory speed in order to match the guest against a performance reference.

For the deteails, in the guest, we have

Handle 0x1100, DMI type 17, 21 bytes
Memory Device
        Array Handle: 0x1000
        Error Information Handle: 0x0000
        Total Width: 64 bits
        Data Width: 64 bits
        Size: 4096 MB
        Form Factor: DIMM
        Set: None
        Locator: DIMM 0
        Bank Locator: Not Specified
        Type: RAM
        Type Detail: None

In the hypervisor,

Handle 0x0015, DMI type 17, 28 bytes
Memory Device
        Array Handle: 0x0011
        Error Information Handle: Not Provided
        Total Width: 72 bits
