What is the point of having separate bs.current_pages and totalram_pages?
The latter (in current code) always tracks the former. Further, what's the
point of re-initializing totalram_pages during balloon_init() in pv guests?
If the bogus incrementing of the value in mem_init() gets removed, things
would match native without that re-initialization, and the current_pages
member could entirely go away.

Thanks, Jan
