Oracle VM and Rowhammer Flip Feng Shui

Ray FrushAug 31 2016

Does anyone know if Oracle VM's implementation of Xen takes advantage of memory deduplication?

There is a writeup on ars Technica (New cloud attack takes full control of virtual machines with little effort | Ars Technica ) that describes an alarming attack, and I'm curious if anyone here know if Oracle's implementation of Xen uses the technologies like memory page deduplication that would make our VM's susceptible to an attack like this.
