With the schedular parameters API we gave up and decided that each
HV would be different for 'field', so used string parameters. I wonder
if we could use an enum for memory parameters, or keep this char[] as 
extensible for HV specific memory tuning params? Perhaps its worth
keeping like this just for consistent usage with _virSchedParameter

If we keep strings, then we should probably #define some constants
for the well-known tunables.

 eg  #define VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_MAX_BALLOON "max-balloon"


Oh, BTW this patch should be merged with the previous patch. The idea with
a series of patches, is that the code should successfully compile after
each individual patch is applied. The previous patch has a compile time
dependancy on this patch, thus they need merging, or reversing in order
