Update of this version: 1. Report continuous pages will increase the speed. So added deflate continuous pages. 2. According to the comments from David in [3], added 2 new vqs icvq and dcvq to get continuous pages with format 32 bits pfn and 32 bits size. Following is the introduction of the function. Set option cont-pages to on will open flags VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_CONT_PAGES. qemu will get continuous pages from icvq and dcvq and do madvise MADV_WILLNEED and MADV_DONTNEED with the pages. Opening this flag can bring two benefits: 1. Increase the speed of balloon inflate and deflate. 2. Decrease the splitted THPs number in the host.
