Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1775826cee xen: add balloon driver
The balloon driver allows memory to be dynamically added or removed from the domain,
in order to allow host memory to be balanced between multiple domains.

This patch introduces the Xen balloon driver, though it currently only
allows a domain to be shrunk from its initial size (and re-grown back to
that size).  A later patch will add the ability to grow a domain beyond
its initial size.

config XEN_BALLOON
bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
depends on XEN
default y
help
The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
return unneeded memory to the system.
config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
depends on XEN_BALLOON
default y
help
Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
secure, but slightly less efficient.
If in doubt, say yes.
