^^^^^^^^^^
The VirtIO memballoon device enables the host to dynamically reclaim memory
from your VM by growing the balloon inside the guest, reserving reclaimed
memory. Libvirt adds this device to guests by default.
However, this device causes major performance issues with VFIO passthrough
setups, and should be disabled.
