Just as an interesting data point, the Xen driver also lets the max memory changing
function be called on active domains.  In the Xen case, it indicates an error, but
actually changes the "running" configs' XML value, losing the change when the domain
is then shut down.  It means a user can bump up the "max" value for the running domain,
then (without error) bump up the "currentMemory" value to match.  It just doesn't actually
do anything though... the domain doesn't seem to get the extra ram.
