very good idea! but I'm wandering whether we can get these info from hypervisor.

xenapi and libvirt are interfaces for other tools to manage xen. but your
xenballoond should belong to the infrastructure of xen. I think should be
implement in xend as a thread or stand alone process.
And if you want make it configurable (eg. change policy) by other tools (xm),
you should add APIs to xenapi or libvirt.
