The current computation of the balloon floor was not appropriate for virtual machines with more than 10 GB of assigned memory - we would get into situations where the host would agressively balloon down the guest and leave the guest in an unusable state. This patch fixes the issue by raising the floor. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
