I don't think the memory target stuff is a driver. 'balloon' should not
appear in the name anyhow -- this stuff is getting ever more closely
integrated with Linux's core memory management anyhow, it's definitely
not a driver.

I sort of slightly buy Anthony's argument that /sys/hypervisor should
just expose information about the hypervisor.

/sys/devices/system/memory/{target,current,max,..} ?
