This is the fourth revision fo the path to the VMWare balloon driver. The original

the original change for an overview.

v1:
- Initial implementation
v2
- Address suggestions by Dmitry Totoknov
  - Use UINT_MAX as "infitite" rate instead of special casing -1
v3:
- Change commit comment for step 6 to better explain what impact ballooning has
  on the VM performance.
v4:
- Add missing include header <linux/vmalloc.h> in step 3

Thanks
