Hi Scott --
Since you are using dom0_mem, there really should be no reason
why the balloon driver needs to get initialized. For the
balloon driver to work properly, it needs a correct E820
map and there have been recent upstream changes in the balloon
driver involving E820. If we assume that your E820 map is
indeed broken, the easiest fix for your machine might be just
to modify balloon_init in dom0 to immediately fail (and
return -ENODEV).
Jeremy, I wonder if Scott is experiencing a side-effect of
this change?
