+balloon/hotplug_unpopulated
+===========================
+
+This flag controls whether unpopulated memory ranges are automatically
+hotplugged as system RAM.
+
+- ``0``: Unpopulated ranges are not hotplugged (default).
+- ``1``: Unpopulated ranges are automatically hotplugged.
+
+When enabled, the Xen balloon driver will add memory regions that are
+marked as unpopulated in the Xen memory map to the system as usable RAM.
+This allows for dynamic memory expansion in Xen guest domains.
+
+This option is only available when the kernel is built with
+``CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG`` enabled.
