Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Everytime I restart vdsmd
it will automatically start ksm again (and ksmd starts consuming CPU). 

I couldn't find anything ksm-related in vdsm.log. Is there a way to
debug this? I strongly assume that the KSM Custer setting isn't working
as expected.

FWIW, I've just upgraded to oVirt 3.5.0 GA and test this setting again.
