Some improvement to hot plg CPUs and RAM in Solaris 11?

We plan to use Solaris 11 in VMWare environment. As all of you know, you can add CPUs and RAM on the fly depending on the guest operating system. A lot of Windows versions can handle that, and some Linux (64bits based) distros as well.
That's not possible in Solaris (at least in Solaris 9 and 10): http://vmwarethiru.blogspot.com/2011/04/vsphere-support-for-memory-hot-add-and.html
Is there some improvement on this? I mean... it will be possible to add CPU and RAM from the VMWare hypervisor when you're using Solaris 11 as a guest?
I seems a virtual provider (VMWare in this case) issue, but it's not: it depends on the guest operating system capabilities.
