<content type='text'>
Balloon device is frequently used as a mean of cooperative memory control
in between guest and host to manage memory overcommitment. This is the
typical case for any hosting workload when KVM guest is provided for
end-user.

Though there is a problem in this setup. The end-user and hosting provider
have signed SLA agreement in which some amount of memory is guaranted for
the guest. The good thing is that this memory will be given to the guest
when the guest will really need it (f.e. with OOM in guest and with
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM configuration flag set). The bad thing
is that end-user does not know this.

Balloon by default reduce the amount of memory exposed to the end-user
each time when the page is stolen from guest or returned back by using
adjust_managed_page_count and thus /proc/meminfo shows reduced amount
of memory.

Fortunately the solution is simple, we should just avoid to call
adjust_managed_page_count with VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM set.

arrays of pfns and now it takes pointer to struct virtio_ballon.
This change is necessary to conditionally call adjust_managed_page_count
in the next patch.

Added the match table and pointers for ACPI probing to the driver.

This uses the same identifier for virt devices as being used for qemu
ARM64 ACPI support.

Spec requires a device reset during cleanup, so do it and avoid warn

Pull virtio/vhost cross endian support from Michael Tsirkin:
 "I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix
  regressions and none are related to these ones, so it looks like a
  good time for a merge for -rc1.

  The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE
  hosts.  There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this:

   - It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
     anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.

   - Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
     and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
     tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
     stripped binary).

  Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point:
  prevent people from enabling it eg on x86.  I will look into this"

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
  to speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module
  lock doing that too.

  A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
  breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
  another module (yeah, really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual
  suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
  appended too"

Most code already uses consts for the struct kernel_param_ops,
sweep the kernel for the last offending stragglers. Other than
include/linux/moduleparam.h and kernel/params.c all other changes
were generated with the following Coccinelle SmPL patch. Merge
conflicts between trees can be handled with Coccinelle.

In the future git could get Coccinelle merge support to deal with
patch --&gt; fail --&gt; grammar --&gt; Coccinelle --&gt; new patch conflicts
automatically for us on patches where the grammar is available and
the patch is of high confidence. Consider this a feature request.
