Hi Paul,

As you know, I'm a big fan of randomized testing.  A single randomized 
test can take the place of a large number of single function tests.
For something like the balloon driver, I think this would work best in 
concert with a larger test program that actually checked the results of 
ballooning through different mechanism (via /proc/xen/balloon, xm 
set-mem, or writing to the store directly).
The procpipe code I submitted yesterday would be an excellent way to 
coordinate this.  If you'd like, we can take this offline and develop a 
procpipe based balloon testsuite that really stresses all interfaces for 
the balloon driver.
Regards,

Anthony Liguori
