No, memory initially created and assigned to the guest
is zeroed[*]. We just don't re-zero it when the guest reboots.

[*] ignoring special cases like when the command line options
specifically request us to back the guest memory with an
on-disk file, in which case you get the contents of the file
you asked for.
