Subject: [RESEND PATCH v3 kernel 4/7] virtio-balloon: speed up inflate/deflate process

The implementation of the current virtio-balloon is not very
efficient, the time spends on different stages of inflating
the balloon to 7GB of a 8GB idle guest:

a. allocating pages (6.5%)
b. sending PFNs to host (68.3%)
c. address translation (6.1%)
d. madvise (19%)

It takes about 4126ms for the inflating process to complete.
Debugging shows that the bottle neck are the stage b and stage d.

If using a bitmap to send the page info instead of the PFNs, we
can reduce the overhead in stage b quite a lot. Furthermore, we
can do the address translation and call madvise() with a bulk of
RAM pages, instead of the current page per page way, the overhead
of stage c and stage d can also be reduced a lot.

This patch is the kernel side implementation which is intended to
speed up the inflating & deflating process by adding a new feature
to the virtio-balloon device. With this new feature, inflating the
balloon to 7GB of a 8GB idle guest only takes 590ms, the
performance improvement is about 85%.

TODO: optimize stage a by allocating/freeing a chunk of pages
instead of a single page at a time.
