Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm/balloon_compaction: list interfaces

Introduce interfaces for ballooning enqueueing and dequeueing of a list
of pages. These interfaces reduce the overhead of storing and restoring
IRQs by batching the operations. In addition they do not panic if the
list of pages is empty.
