+          like a "balloon" that can be inflated to reclaim physical pages
+          by reserving them in the guest and invalidating them in the
+          monitor, freeing up the underlying machine pages so they can
+          be allocated to other guests. The balloon can also be deflated
+          to allow the guest to use more physical memory.
+
+          If unsure, say N.
+
+          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
