Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] xen/balloon: fixes for memory hotplug

Hello,

The following series contain some fixes in order to split Xen
unpopulated memory handling from the ballooning driver if ZONE_DEVICE is
available, so that physical memory regions used to map foreign pages are
not tied to memory hotplug.

The main difference in this version is that MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX is
renamed to MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC, as using DEVDAX in the Xen code to
allocate unpopulated memory felt wrong.

Thanks, Roger.
