[RFC kernel 2/2] virtio-balloon: extend balloon driver to support a new feature

From: Liang Li
Date: Thu Mar 03 2016 - 05:53:31 EST


Extend the virio balloon to support the new feature
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_GET_FREE_PAGES, so that we can use it to send the
free pages information from guest to QEMU, and then optimize the
live migration process.
