Subject: [PATCH v20 4/7] 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 by one array each
time. 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 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 ~460ms resulting
in an improvement of ~89%.

TODO:
- optimize stage 1) by allocating/freeing a chunk of pages instead of a
single page each time.
- sort the internal balloon page queue.
