For (unpleasant) historical reasons you'll always get a virtio balloon
device added by libvirt. If you don't want balloon enabled you have to
explicitly give model=none
Thanks Dan. I'll change this to:
push_back devices (
e "memballoon"
["model",
if guestcaps.gcaps_virtio_balloon then "virtio" else "none"]
[]
);
