xen: add balloon driver
The balloon driver allows memory to be dynamically added or removed from the domain, in order to allow host memory to be balanced between multiple domains. This patch introduces the Xen balloon driver, though it currently only allows a domain to be shrunk from its initial size (and re-grown back to that size). A later patch will add the ability to grow a domain beyond its initial size.

1config XEN_BALLOON
2 bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
3 depends on XEN
4 default y
5 help
6 The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
7 the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
8 return unneeded memory to the system.

10config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
11 bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
12 depends on XEN_BALLOON
13 default y
14 help
15 Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
16 other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
17 is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
18 secure, but slightly less efficient.
19 If in doubt, say yes.
