similar to: [PATCH v19 0/7] 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 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.
