Pages that have been ballooned are useful for other Xen drivers doing
grant table actions, because these pages have valid struct page/PFNs but
have no valid MFN so are available for remapping.

[v2: Deal with rebasing on top of modified balloon code]

The basic functionality of ballooning pages is useful for Xen drivers in
general. Rather than require a dependency on the balloon module, split
the functionality that is reused into the core. The balloon module is
still required to follow ballooning requests from xenstore or to view
balloon statistics in sysfs.

The balloon driver doesn't have any externally callable functions at
the moment, so remove the (effectively empty) header. We can add it
back if we need to.

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.
