From the point of view of the kernel, ballooned memory is actually "in
use". This is because the balloon is inflated by requesting memory
from the kernel allocator -- the kernel assumes this memory is in use
by the balloon driver, when in fact it is returned to Xen.

Thanks. Is this true also for other domains than dom0?
