Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Convert balloon driver to xenstore

Not at the moment, as I understand it.  Rusty recommended calling the
init method directly from the xenbus probe, since the balloon driver
doesn't (and shouldn't) register itself as a normal xenbus driver
(like blk{front,back}).

I think we need a standardized way to initialize miscellaneous drivers
such as the balloon.  It's definitely a temporary solution to a
problem that will require more thought as we get more drivers
converted to xenbus.
