[PATCH v10 QEMU 3/3] virtio-balloon: Provide a interface for unused page reporting

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

Add support for what I am referring to as "unused page reporting".
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.
