Do you follow the discussion on the qemu-devel list? The virtio-balloon
driver only report free RAM, without information about buffers.
So maybe it is faster to work on the guest-agent infrastructure instead. I guess
it is much easier to modify the user space tools than a kernel driver.

Note: fixing the kernel driver is quite easy, but I doubt we can force all distrib. to
apply/backport those patches. 

They also talk about a kernel-based auto-ballooning feature! I requested more
information about that.
