Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/6] mm: convert PG_balloon to PG_offline
PG_balloon was introduced to implement page migration/compaction for pages
inflated in virtio-balloon. Nowadays, it is only a marker that a page is
part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline.
We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for
inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline
(e.g. used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()).
We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile. But
instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking
pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes
later on.
Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline. This is an indicator that the page is
logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched
(e.g. a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for the
guest to dump an unused page). We can then e.g. exclude such pages from
dumps.
In following patches, we will make use of this bit also in other balloon
drivers. While at it, document PGTABLE.
