K. Y. Srinivasan e500d158fb Drivers: hv: balloon: Add a parameter to delay pressure reporting
Delay reporting memory pressure by a specified amount of time.
This addresses the problem where the host may take memory balancing
decisions based on incorrect memory pressure data that will be posted
as soon as the balloon driver is loaded.

K. Y. Srinivasan 0731572b6c Drivers: hv: balloon: Make adjustments to the pressure report
The host expects that the pressure report includes the pressure due to the
pages that have been ballooned. Make necessary adjustments to reflect that.
Also, include the free memory information in the pressure report.

K. Y. Srinivasan 9aa8b50b2b Drivers: hv: Add Hyper-V balloon driver
Add the basic balloon driver. Windows hosts dynamically manage the guest
memory allocation via a combination memory hot add and ballooning. Memory
hot add is used to grow the guest memory upto the maximum memory that can be
allocatted to the guest. Ballooning is used to both shrink as well as expand
up to the max memory. Supporting hot add needs additional support from the
host. We will support hot add when this support is available. For now,
by setting the VM startup memory to the VM  max memory, we can use
ballooning alone to dynamically manage memory allocation amongst
competing guests on a given host.
