I'm off to investigate whether it's a VM bug, or whether I should make the balloon driver a little friendlier on the VM. Chances are I'll end up sending out a patch later, either here or to the linux-kernel mailing list ;)

Probably the balloon driver being unfriendly. Rate limiting was on the list after getting the 2.6 port, ctrlif, etc working. We also need to fix the way ballooned pages are recorded, since the current scheme breaks under migration.

Expect a unified driver for 2.4 and 2.6 shortly.
