I have same problem with wheezy (host) and squeeze (guest).
In libvirt I have following memory configuration for the guest:
<memory unit='MiB'>1024</memory>
<currentMemory unit='MiB'>128</currentMemory>
[...]
<memballoon model='virtio'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</memballoon>
But the guest uses only 128 Mb, and when it fills, begins to use swap
instead of increase memory.
