I will remove corresponding comments from the balloon's
{increase|decrease}_reservation
and move those into xenmem_reservation{increase|decrease} where they
belong now.
I will also put a comment close to xenmem_reservation{increase|decrease}:

/* @frames is an array of PFNs */
int xenmem_reservation_increase(int count, xen_pfn_t *frames)
{
[...]
}

/* @frames is an array of GFNs */
int xenmem_reservation_decrease(int count, xen_pfn_t *frames)
{
[...]
}
