Yes. (but we need to extend it too all options, because currently it's only use for disk and nic)

Funny, I was thinking about the same 10min ago ;)

But I really don't known how to display that in pve-manager.
(for devices grid for example and forms)

I think that is not necessary, because we already have the VM 'hotplug' option. 

I am thinking about the following: Write pending changes into a new config section, 
for example: 

------vm config--- 
memory: 1024 

[pendign_changes] 
memory: 8192 
-------------- 

We always write this before we change something. If hotplug is enabled, we commit the change after 
hotplug. Else, we commit on VM startup. 

What do you think?
