It will be seen as memballoon element. It will\n   be automatically added when appropriate, so there is no need to explicitly add this element in the guest XML unless a \n  specific PCI slot needs to be assigned. Since 0.8.3, Xen, QEMU and KVM only Additionally, since 0.8.4, if the \n  memballoon device needs to be explicitly disabled, model\u003d\u0027none\u0027 may be used.\n\n  Example: automatically added device with KVM\n\n  \"\"\"\n  \u003cdevices\u003e\n    \u003cmemballoon model\u003d\u0027virtio\u0027/\u003e\n  \u003c/devices\u003e\n  \"\"\"\n\n  Example: manually added device with static PCI slot 2 requested\n\n    \n    \u003cdevices\u003e\n      \u003cmemballoon model\u003d\u0027virtio\u0027\u003e\n        \u003caddress type\u003d\u0027pci\u0027 domain\u003d\u00270x0000\u0027 bus\u003d\u00270x00\u0027 slot\u003d\u00270x02\u0027 function\u003d\u00270x0\u0027/\u003e\n        \u003cstats period\u003d\u002710\u0027/\u003e\n        \u003cdriver iommu\u003d\u0027on\u0027 ats\u003d\u0027on\u0027/\u003e\n      \u003c/memballoon\u003e\n    \u003c/devices\u003e\n  \u003c/domain\u003e\n\n  model\n\n      The required model attribute specifies what type of balloon device is provided.

Since 1.3.1, QEMU and KVM only\n  freePageReporting\n\n      The optional freePageReporting attribute allows to enable/disable (\"on\"/\"off\", respectively) the ability of the \n  QEMU virtio memory balloon to return unused pages back to the hypervisor to be used by other guests or processes. \n  Please note that despite its name it has no effect on free memory as reported by virDomainMemoryStats() and/or virsh \n  dommemstat. Since 6.9.0, QEMU and KVM only\n  period\n\n      The optional period allows the QEMU virtio memory balloon driver to provide statistics through the virsh dommemstat\n   [domain] command. By default, collection is not enabled. In order to enable, use the virsh dommemstat [domain] \n  --period [number] command or virsh edit command to add the option to the XML definition. The virsh dommemstat will \n  accept the options --live, --current, or --config. If an option is not provided, the change for a running domain will \n  only be made to the active guest. If the QEMU driver is not at the right revision, the attempt to set the period will \n  fail. Large values (e.g. many years) might be ignored. Since 1.1.1, requires QEMU 1.5\n  driver\n\n      For model virtio memballoon, Virtio-related options can also be set.
