Hi Daniel,
thanks for reply. Well, it seems that I'm a bit ahead of time here,
the balloning support didn't even make it to QEMU trunk...
So there is not big hurry with it :)
Okay, thanks for the status report :-)
To answer Your questions:

from a slight look to patches yes, it will be possible using monitor
"info ballon" command which will print either
"Ballooning not activated in VM" or "balloon: actual=%d", so I guess
this should be sufficient.
sounds right

Seems like this should not be that complex. I'll give ballooning patches
a try and if it works well, I'll try to prepare some libvirt patches.
I'll let You know about progress OK?
Excellent :-) Thanks in advance !
