I'd completely forgotten about this problem. We really should try to
get this fixed & renabled in QEMU sometime in the not too distant
future.
I agree. The problem is that qemu lacks a proper interface for
asynchronous commands so an unresponsive guest could freeze the monitor.
QMP is undergoing a significant overhaul as a result of the new QAPI
framework. It is my understanding that this new framework will provide
a robust async interface, allowing us to re-enable balloon stats.
