[RESEND PATCH v3 kernel 7/7] virtio-balloon: tell host vm's unused page info

2016-10-20 Thread Liang Li
Support the request for vm's unused page information, response with a page bitmap. QEMU can make use of this bitmap and the dirty page logging mechanism to skip the transportation of these unused pages, this is very helpful to speed up the live migration process. Signed-off-by: Liang Li Cc: Micha
