MADV_WILLNEED will call madvise_willneed in the host kernel.
madvise_willneed will schedule all required I/O operations (swap in or vfs_fadvise POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) of the address.

But the pages of the balloon are released by MADV_DONTNEED.
So I think MADV_WILLNEED will not affect the performance of the guest in the most of situations.

Best,
Hui
