Subject: [PATCH 3.19 035/101] xen/balloon: before adding hotplugged memory, set frames to invalid

3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit 3c56b3a12ce52f361468cbdd2f79b2f3b8da0ea6 upstream.

Commit 25b884a83d487fd62c3de7ac1ab5549979188482 ("x86/xen: set
regions above the end of RAM as 1:1") introduced a regression.

To be able to add memory pages which were added via memory hotplug to
a pv domain, the pages must be "invalid" instead of "identity" in the
p2m list before they can be added.
