Sounds like you have memory over-provisioning enabled, you shouldn't 
need to disable virtio-balloon. That can be done, but as it's quite ugly 
(well, if you wipe virtio-balloon.ko from the template and from the 
template's initrd it should work).
The best would be to disable memory over-provisioning or to upgrade to 
4.3 and enable vm.memballoon.disable.


See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-5968 and 
http://markmail.org/thread/5qgul6tsphrpeufz for some history.

I'm probably missing some information, but what exactly is the problem?
