The two images have to be using a common disc image (or a delta of a common
disc image) exported by a memshr-aware block-device backend: blktap1 or
blktap2. In fact, would have to be the former, since blktap2 has memshr
support disabled as it was crashing. The sharing opportunities aren't
discovered by page scanning, as in some other schemes.
