which will be available sooner? and an estimate when?
this rise another question if swapping will be used the it moves the
guest memory to the guest's swap or the host's swap? if to the host's
swap then this implies i should have to allocate large enough swap for
the host. ie. even if i give only 256mb to the host still have to gives
6-8GB swap partition to the host.

still believe that these memory, swap, and other disk partitions should
have to be explain in the faq.
