done virNodeGetFreeMemory(), but it's plugged only for Xen, no remote support
(where it would really be useful) nor QEmu back-end.
Unless someone else was already planning to look at QEMU/Remote stuff I'll take
a look it starting this

Apparently this is not available (the installed memory per cell not the
what is currently free).
It is possible on Linux (aka QEMU/KVM driver will have it) and there are patches
for Xen we just need to push upstream. So I don't see a problem noting that this
will be added in future.
