This patch set contains two parts of changes to the virtio-balloon. One is the change for speeding up the inflating & deflating process, the main idea of this optimization is to use {pfn|length} to present the page information instead of the PFNs, to reduce the overhead of virtio data transmission, address translation and madvise(). This can help to improve the performance by about 85%.
