Subject: [PATCH v13 3/5] virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_SG

Add a new feature, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_SG, which enables the transfer
of balloon (i.e. inflated/deflated) pages using scatter-gather lists
to the host.

The implementation of the previous virtio-balloon is not very
efficient, because the balloon pages are transferred to the
host one by one. Here is the breakdown of the time in percentage
spent on each step of the balloon inflating process (inflating
7GB of an 8GB idle guest).

1) allocating pages (6.5%)
2) sending PFNs to host (68.3%)
3) address translation (6.1%)
4) madvise (19%)

It takes about 4126ms for the inflating process to complete.
The above profiling shows that the bottlenecks are stage 2)
and stage 4).

This patch optimizes step 2) by transferring pages to the host in
sgs. An sg describes a chunk of guest physically continuous pages.
With this mechanism, step 4) can also be optimized by doing address
translation and madvise() in chunks rather than page by page.

With this new feature, the above ballooning process takes ~541ms
resulting in an improvement of ~87%.

TODO: optimize stage 1) by allocating/freeing a chunk of pages
instead of a single page each time.
