    Much like each network driver is NIC specific.

    You could think up a framework into which hypervisor specific balloon
    drivers plug in, but you'll find that in each driver 85% of the code is
    devoted to talking to the hypervisor, 15% is outdated comments, and the
    rest is a call to alloc_pages() and a call to free_pages().
