+What:          /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/max_retry_count
+Date:          May 2011
+KernelVersion: 2.6.39
+Contact:       Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
+Description:
+               The maximum number of times the balloon driver will
+               attempt to increase the balloon before giving up.  See
+               also 'retry_count' below.
+               A value of zero means retry forever and is the default one.

+What:          /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/max_schedule_delay
+Date:          May 2011
+KernelVersion: 2.6.39
+Contact:       Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
+Description:
+               The limit that 'schedule_delay' (see below) will be
+               increased to. The default value is 32 seconds.

+Date:          May 2011
+KernelVersion: 2.6.39
+Contact:       Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
+Description:
+               The current number of times that the balloon driver
+               has attempted to increase the size of the balloon.
+               The default value is one. With max_retry_count being
+               zero (unlimited), this means that the driver will attempt
+               to retry with a 'schedule_delay' delay.

+Date:          May 2011
+KernelVersion: 2.6.39
+Contact:       Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
+Description:
+               The time (in seconds) to wait between attempts to
+               increase the balloon.  Each time the balloon cannot be
+               increased, 'schedule_delay' is increased (until
+               'max_schedule_delay' is reached at which point it
+               will use the max value).
