Subject: [PATCH 0/6] vmw_balloon: 64-bit limit support, compaction, shrinker

Various enhancements for VMware balloon, some of which are remainder
from a previous patch-set.

Patch 1: Aumps the version number, following recent changes
Patch 2: Adds support for 64-bit memory limit
Patches 3-4: Support for compaction
Patch 5: Support for memory shrinker - disabled by default
Patch 6: Split refused pages to improve performance

Since the 3rd patch requires Michael Tsirkin ack, which has not arrived
in the last couple of times the patch was sent, please consider applying
patches 1-2 for 5.1.
