After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

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.
