[ovirt-users] Cluster settings: "KSM Control" not working?

Hi,

while testing oVirt 3.5 RC I've came across this cluster setting:

Optimization -> KSM control -> [X] Enable KSM

I guess it's related to Kernel Same-page Merging.
Since KSM is a bad idea in my case (really slow CPUs), I've disabled 
this Cluster setting, expecting oVirt to disable KSM on each oVirt Node.
But KSM is still running and consuming a lot CPU.

1) What is the expected result for this setting?
2) And how do I completely and permanentely disable KSM on oVirt Nodes?
