[PATCH v15 6/7] virtio-balloon: Add support for providing free page reports to host

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

Add support for the page reporting feature provided by virtio-balloon.
Reporting differs from the regular balloon functionality in that is is
much less durable than a standard memory balloon. Instead of creating a
list of pages that cannot be accessed the pages are only inaccessible
while they are being indicated to the virtio interface. Once the
interface has acknowledged them they are placed back into their respective
free lists and are once again accessible by the guest system.

Unlike a standard balloon we don't inflate and deflate the pages. Instead
we perform the reporting, and once the reporting is completed it is
assumed that the page has been dropped from the guest and will be faulted
back in the next time the page is accessed.

For this reason when I had originally introduced the patch set I referred
to this behavior as a "bubble" instead of a "balloon" since the duration
is short lived, and when the page is touched the "bubble" is popped and
the page is faulted back in.
