Updated VMWARE_BALLOON_CMD to use the common VMW_PORT macro. Doing this rather than replacing all instances of VMWARE_BALLOON_CMD to minimize code change.

Introduce interfaces for ballooning enqueueing and dequeueing of a list of pages. These interfaces reduce the overhead of storing and restoring IRQs by batching the operations. In addition they do not panic if the list of pages is empty. Cc: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst at redhat.com> Cc: Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com> Cc: linux-mm at kvack.org Cc: virtualization at
