[ Upstream commit 3596924a233e45aa918c961a902170fc4916461b ]
The current balloon code tries to calculate a delta factor for the balloon target when running in HVM mode in order to account for memory used by the firmware.
This workaround for memory accounting doesn't work properly on a PVH Dom0, that has a static-max value different from the target value even at startup. Note that this is not a problem for DomUs because guests are started with a static-max value that matches the amount of RAM in the memory map.
Fix this by forcefully setting target_diff for Dom0, regardless of it's mode.
