Is the 'balloon_hotplug' calculation correct?  I _think_ you're trying
to round up to the SECTION_SIZE_PAGES.  But, if 'credit' was already
section-aligned I think you'll unnecessarily round up to the next
SECTION_SIZE_PAGES boundary.  Should it just be:

        balloon_hotplug = ALIGN(balloon_hotplug, PAGES_PER_SECTION);

You might also want to consider some nicer units for those suckers.
'start_paddr' is _much_ easier to grok than 'start', for instance.
