Hi Vitaly,
I found a case that the virtualization overhead was almost doubled
when turning on Hper-v related features compared to that without any
no hyper-v feature. It happens when running a 3D game in windows
guest in qemu kvm environment.

Concurrent call of multifd_save_cleanup() is unsafe, it will lead to
null pointer dereference. 'multifd_save_cleanup()' should not be called
in multifd_new_send_channel_async(), move it to ram_save_cleanup() like
other features do.

Expose the function to get the max pfn, so it can be used in the
virtio-balloon device driver. Simply include the 'linux/bootmem.h'
is not enough, if the device driver is built to a module, directly
refer the max_pfn lead to build failed.

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.

Address the issues referred in MST's comments
Liang Li (7):
virtio-balloon: rework deflate to add page to a list
virtio-balloon: define new feature bit and page bitmap head
mm: add a function to get the max pfn
virtio-balloon: speed up inflate/deflate process
mm: add the related function
Save the free page info into a page bitmap, will be used in virtio
balloon device driver.

from v1 to v2:
* Abandon the patch for dropping page cache.
* Put some structures to uapi head file.
* Use a new way to determine the page bitmap size.
* Use a unified way to send the free page information with the bitmap
* Address the issues referred in MST's comments

Add a new feature to get the free page information from guest,
the free page information is saved in a bitmap. Please note that
'free page' means page is free sometime after host set the value
of request ID and before it receive response with the same ID.
