Much like each network driver is NIC specific.

You could think up a framework into which hypervisor specific balloon
drivers plug in, but you'll find that in each driver 85% of the code is
devoted to talking to the hypervisor, 15% is outdated comments, and the
rest is a call to alloc_pages() and a call to free_pages().
