Juergen, what do you think of this interface:  The toolstack looks at
all the available information about the guest and determines what size
the guest's balloon needs to be.  It then writes
memory/target_balloon_size.  The guest balloon driver simply attempts
to allocate / free memory to make the balloon that size.

We'll have to leave memory/target handling as is until all old
versions of the balloon driver disappear.
