I guess this was discussed with David at some point. Maybe the QMP commands are not exposed via HMP, making this code unreachable? Anyhow user-mode binaries don't use the memory ballooning feature, this is specific to system-mode emulation. Laurent/David, do you have some more trivial explanation? Thanks, Phil.
