2<< 30 is 2G but that is not a useful comment.
pls explain what is the reason for this selection.

Where does this value come from? Do you want ULONG_MAX?
This does not fit in long on 32 bit systems.

might fail if queue size < 2. validate queue size and clear
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_BITMAP?
Alternatively, and I think preferably,
use first struct balloon_bmap_hdr bytes in the buffer
to pass the header to host.

maybe remove page from list? this way we won't go over same entry

don't we need pages_lock if we access vb_dev_info->pages?
