Umm...  The only problem I see here is the lifetime rules for
that module, and that's not something introduced in this patchset.
Said that, looks like the logics around that place is duplicated in
cmm.c, vmw_balloon.c and virtion_balloon.c and I wonder if it would
be better off with a helper in mm/balloon.c to be used for that setup...
