Impact: fix guest kernel crash with CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y
Jens noticed that scrub_page() has a buggy unmap of the wrong
thing. (virtual address instead of page)
Linus pointed out that the whole scrub_page() code is an unnecessary
reimplementation of clear_highpage() to begin with.
Just use clear_highpage() rather than reimplementing it poorly.

The balloon driver doesn't have any externally callable functions at
the moment, so remove the (effectively empty) header. We can add it
back if we need to.

There are four operating modes Xen code may find itself running in:
- native
- hvm domain
- pv dom0
- pv domU
Clean up predicates for testing for these states to make them more consistent.

Remove some unused functions:
balloon_update_driver_allowance
balloon_release_driver_page
only used on the (obsolete, removed) flip path in netfront
alloc_empty_pages_and_pagevec
free_empty_pages_and_pagevec
only used in backend drivers; can be reintroduced when needed

1. Set the class so it doesn't clash with the normal memory class
2. Fix up the sysfs show functions to match the new prototype
3. Clean up use of memparse

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

fix compilation error of ballon driver on ia64.
extent_start member is pointer argument. On x86 pointer argument for
xen hypercall is passed as virtual address.
On the other hand, ia64 and ppc, pointer argument is passed in pseudo
physical address. (guest physicall address.)
So they must be passed as handle and convert right before issuing hypercall.

The balloon driver allows memory to be dynamically added or removed from the domain,
in order to allow host memory to be balanced between multiple domains.
This patch introduces the Xen balloon driver, though it currently only
allows a domain to be shrunk from its initial size (and re-grown back to
that size). A later patch will add the ability to grow a domain beyond
its initial size.
