similar to: [PATCH v17 0/6] Virtio-balloon Enhancement

This patch series enhances the existing virtio-balloon with the following new features: 1) fast ballooning: transfer ballooned pages between the guest and host in chunks using sgs, instead of one array each time; and 2) free page block reporting: a new virtqueue to report guest free pages to the host. The second feature can be used to accelerate live migration of VMs. Here are some details: Live

This patch series enhances the existing virtio-balloon with the following new features: 1) fast ballooning: transfer ballooned pages between the guest and host in chunks using sgs, instead of one by one; and 2) cmdq: a new virtqueue to send commands between the device and driver. Currently, it supports commands to report memory stats (replace the old statq mechanism) and report guest unused pages.

This patch adds support to find next 1 or 0 bit in a xbmitmap range and clear a range of bits. More possible optimizations to add in the future: 1) xb_set_bit_range: set a range of bits. 2) when searching a bit, if the bit is not found in the slot, move on to the next slot directly. 3) add tags to help searching.
