Hi,

Glad you managed to get it to work!

Yeah, I've been using "xl". However I just packaged squeezed, the memory 
ballooning daemon... If this is working properly then it'll balloon dom0 down-- 
I'll test this in a while.

Oops, probably should accept both names and uuids. To clean up you can delete 
the json files from /var/run/nonpersistent/xenops if you need to.

Will mirari talk the xenops API directly? In my dev branch I automatically 
chgrp'd the xenops socket to the "xapi" group to give me access without sudo-- 
would that help?

Feel free to bring issues up in the tracker! :-)
