[PATCH v1 QEMU] QEMU: Provide a interface for hinting based off of the balloon infrastructure

Alexander Duyck

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@linux.intel.com>

Add support for what I am referring to as "bubble hinting". Basically the
idea is to function very similar to how the balloon works in that we
basically end up madvising the page as not being used. However we don't
really need to bother with any deflate type logic since the page will be
faulted back into the guest when it is read or written to.

This is meant to be a simplification of the existing balloon interface
to use for providing hints to what memory needs to be freed. I am assuming
this is safe to do as the deflate logic does not actually appear to do very
much other than tracking what subpages have been released and which ones
haven't.
