[Qemu-devel] [5873] Add ballooning infrastructure.

Log Message:
-----------
Add ballooning infrastructure.

Balloon devices allow you to ask the guest to allocate memory.  This allows you
to release that memory.  It's mostly useful for freeing up large chunks of
memory from cooperative guests.

Ballooning is supported by both Xen and VirtIO.

Yes, sorry about that!

I need to start doing svn status before doing svn ci.
