If some pages are stuck and you just free them will it cause Dom0 to
crash? I mean, if those pages are recycled by other balloon page users.
Even if it will not cause Dom0 to crash, will it leak any resource in
Dom0? At plain sight it looks like at least grant table entry is leaked,
isn't it? We need to be careful about this because a malicious might be
able to DoS Dom0 with resource leakage.

You only hold the lock for one function call is this intentional?

Surely you can remove this "if". At this point nr_gops cannot be zero --
see two lines above.

This change should be squashed to patch 1. Or as I suggested the changes
in patch 1 should be moved here.
