[RFC QEMU PATCH] QEMU: Provide a interface for hinting based off of the balloon infrastructure

From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Thu May 30 2019 - 18:00:55 EST


From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

So 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.

I suspect this is still a bit crude and will need some more work.
Suggestions welcome.
