So, I'm not sure I understand the changes to the balloon stats polling
code. Why is this needed?

I asked this question on the kernel patches, but if I understood correctly
you're passing the whole free pages array to the host, right? If that's
correct, would it work to madvise an entire region instead of going page
by page? If that's possible, it would allow you to kill the inner while loop.

Should you really continue on error?
