Sorry, but NAK.
This would affect existing users / user space / balloon stats. For example
HV just recently switch to properly using adjust_managed_page_count()

hv_balloon: do adjust_managed_page_count() when ballooning/un-ballooning
Unlike virtio_balloon/virtio_mem/xen balloon drivers, Hyper-V balloon driver
does not adjust managed pages count when ballooning/un-ballooning and this
leads
to incorrect stats being reported, e.g. unexpected 'free' output.
Note, the calculation in post_status() seems to remain correct: ballooned
out
pages are never 'available' and we manually add dm->num_pages_ballooned to
'commited'.
