Please do an enum instead of defines. VQ_ID can be just VQ
(it's not an ID, it's just the number).

What is this doing? Basically handling the case where vq is broken?
It's kind of ugly to tweak feature bits, most code assumes they never
change.  Please just return an error to caller instead and handle it
there.

You can then avoid sprinking the check for the feature bit
all over the code.

One thing I don't like about this one is that the previous request
will still try to run to completion.

And it all seems pretty complex.

How about:
- pass cmd id to a queued work
- queued work gets that cmd id, stores a copy and uses that,
  re-checking periodically - stop if cmd id changes:
  will replace  report_free_page too since that's set to
  stop.

This means you do not reuse the queued cmd id also
for the buffer - which is probably for the best.

While it's ok to set cmd id here because of the lock, it is easier
to understand code if you set up everything before you queue the
command.

Can you teach walk_free_mem_block to return the && of all
return calls, so caller knows whether it completed?

balloon_wq is initialized conditionally here but destroyed
unconditionally below. That will crash when not initialized
I think.
