Your two sentences seem contradictory to me: If it gets handled via
xenstore, then the init scripts shouldn't matter, and the ballooning
should start as soon as the driver loads (since - iirc - watches fire once
when being registered).

I believe so yes. The lower memory_target will be written to xenstore at
domain creation, for balloon driver to retrieve and act on when it loads.
