I think when call increase_reservation() on qemu, it called
xc_domain_setmaxmem() firstly.
See followed code on vl.c:

nr_pages = info.nr_pages + extra_pages;

if ( xc_domain_setmaxmem(xc_handle, domid, ---------> setmaxmem here
(nr_pages) * PAGE_SIZE/1024 ) != 0)
{
fprintf(logfile, "set maxmem returned error %d\n", errno);
exit(-1);
}

if ( (page_array = (unsigned long *)
malloc(nr_pages * sizeof(unsigned long))) ==
NULL)
{
fprintf(logfile, "malloc returned error %d\n", errno);
exit(-1);
}

if (xc_domain_memory_increase_reservation(xc_handle, domid,
extra_pages , 0, 0, NULL)
!= 0)
{
fprintf(logfile, "increase reservation returned error %d\n",
errno);
exit(-1);
}
