Transcendent memory

A common requirement with virtualization is to implement "chinese wall" security policies. Imagine if you had a single box that was running a production server as a VM for both Coke and Pepsi. No matter what, neither company wants there to be any chance that the other one can access it's data. The hypervisor must be able to enforce that. If the Pepsi VM was somehow able to obtain the UUID for the Coke shared tmem pool (even if it was because of a bug in the Coke server), you'd have one unhappy customer.

If you were to support a memory sharing system like this, you would want the available pools to be enumerated by the hypervisor. You likely want to support dynamic pools too so you need some way to hot add/remove pools. Using uuids is certainly a reasonable means of identifying pools but the point is that you need a more coherent strategy for exposing the pools to the guest that is arbitrated by the hypervisor.
