This is very unclear and confusing. You will *always* split THPs when
inflating 4k pages and there are THPs around. This is completely
independent of any fragmentation in the guest. The thing you are trying
to achieve here is trying to *minimize* the number of split THPs in the
hypervisor *after* the balloon was completely inflated.

... and what you implement here is very x86 specific, hard-coding the
"9" as THP order.
"Set option cont-pages to on" -> 'Once the feature is enabled via
"cont-pages=on"'
"open flags" -> "unlock VIRTIO_BALLOON_VQ_INFLATE_CONT".

I fail to parse this sentence. I assume something like
"current_pages_order is set by the guest and configures the size of the
pages communicated via the inflate/deflate queue by the guest. It
defaults to 0, which corresponds to the legacy handling without
VIRTIO_BALLOON_VQ_INFLATE_CONT - 4k pages."
Why is "max_pages_order" necessary *at all*? You never check against that.
I have to say, I really dislike that interface. I would much rather
prefer new inflate/deflate queues that eat variable sizes (not orders!)
- similar to the free page reporting interface - and skip things like
the pbp. Not sure if this interface is really what MST asked for.

reverse christmas tree please. squash same types into a single line if
