[PATCH v2 1/1] virtio_balloon: include buffers and cached memory statistics

Add a new fields, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_BUFFERS and VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_CACHED,
to virtio_balloon memory statistics protocol. The values correspond to
'Buffers' and 'Cached' in /proc/meminfo.

To be able to compute the value of 'Cached' memory it is necessary to
export total_swapcache_pages() to modules.

Does 'Buffers' actually make sense? It's a temporary storage -
wouldn't it be significantly out of date by the time
host receives it?
