Currently, the memory target in the Xen selfballooning driver is mainly
driven by the value of "Committed_AS".  However, there are cases in
which it is desirable to assign additional memory to be available for
the kernel, e.g. for local caches (which are not covered by cleancache),
e.g. dcache and inode caches.

This adds an additional tunable in the selfballooning driver (accessible
via sysfs) which allows the user to specify an additional constant
amount of memory to be reserved by the selfballoning driver for the
local domain.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the

The balloon driver's "current_pages" is very different from
totalram_pages.  Self-ballooning needs to be driven by
the latter.  Also, Committed_AS doesn't account for pages
used by the kernel so:
1) Add totalreserve_pages to Committed_AS for the normal target.
2) Enforce a floor for when there are little or no user-space threads
   using memory (e.g. single-user mode) to avoid OOMs.  The floor
   function includes a "min_usable_mb" tuneable in case we discover
   later that the floor function is still too aggressive in some
   workloads, though likely it will not be needed.

Changes since version 4:
- change floor calculation so that it is not as aggressive; this version
  uses a piecewise linear function similar to minimum_target in the 2.6.18
  balloon driver, but modified to add to totalreserve_pages instead of
  subtract from max_pfn, the 2.6.18 version causes OOMs on recent kernels
  because the kernel has expanded over time
- change safety_margin to min_usable_mb and comment on its use
- since committed_as does NOT include kernel space (and other reserved
  pages), totalreserve_pages is now added to committed_as.  The result is
  less aggressive self-ballooning, but theoretically more appropriate.
Changes since version 3:
- missing include causes compile problem when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is disabled
- add comments after includes
Changes since version 2:
- missing include causes compile problem only on 32-bit
Changes since version 1:
- tuneable safety margin added

This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory
("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap.  Both
use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization.
Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal
value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean
page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where
Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine.
Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap,
driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when
in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs.

More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.
