The series improves the use of hotplug memory in the Xen balloon
driver.

- Reliably find a non-conflicting location for the hotplugged memory
  (this fixes memory hotplug in a number of cases, particularly in
  dom0).

- Use hotplugged memory for alloc_xenballooned_pages() (keeping more
  memory available for the domain and reducing fragmentation of the
  p2m).

Changes in v2:
- New BP_WAIT state to signal the balloon process to wait for
  userspace to online the new memory.
- Preallocate P2M entries in alloc_xenballooned_pages() so they do not
  need allocated later (in a context where GFP_KERNEL allocations are
  not possible).
