2. In guest, repeat following operation
  for n in $(seq 200); do
    echo $n
    modprobe -r virtio-balloon
    modprobe virtio-balloon
  done

Test results:
guest will be shutdown and qemu quit with "qemu-kvm: Virtqueue size exceeded"

b.reboot guest 
1.Boot guest through libvirt
2.reboot guest through following scripts
#!/bin/bash
for i in  $(seq 129);
do    
	echo $i
        virsh qemu-monitor-command generic --hmp "system_reset"
        sleep 40
done

Test results:
guest shutdown when repeat 126 times

Epoch       : 10
Version     : 1.5.3
