Are you sure you're not thinking "copy on write" rather than "zero copy"? The latter implies you can predict in advance which pages will be the same forever...

The pages would be copy-on-write, but since this would mostly be for code pages, they would never be written, and therefore never copied.

By 'zero copy', I mean that when a guest tries to read a page, if another guest has that page in RAM, then no copy operation is done to get it into the memory space of the 2nd guest.
