Kernel has to be changed to accept memory in 2M and 1G chunks where
possible. The interface exists and described in spec, but not yet used in
guest kernel.
It would cut hypercall overhead dramatically. It makes upfront memory
accept more bearable and lowers latency of lazy memory accept. So I expect
the gap being not 20x, but like 3-5x (which is still huge).
