[PATCH v1 1/2] Enable balloon drivers to report inflated memory

[Alexander Atanasov]

Display reported in /proc/meminfo as:

Inflated(total) or Inflated(free)

depending on the driver.

Drivers use the sign bit to indicate where they do account
the inflated memory.

Amount of inflated memory can be used by:
 - as a hint for the oom a killer
 - user space software that monitors memory pressure
