[PATCH] hv_balloon: Add module parameter to configure balloon floor value

[Angelina Vu]

Currently, the balloon floor value is automatically computed, but may be
too small depending on app usage of memory. This patch adds a balloon_floor
value as a module parameter that can be used to manually configure the
balloon floor value.
