The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages over time that are not migratable. On a long running system this can severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug memory remove operation. This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier. The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in the range specified. This is used to determine if all of the used pages in a pageblock are owned by the balloon (or other entities in the notifier chain). The hotplug notifier will free pages in the range which is to be removed. The priority of this hotplug notifier is low so that it will be called near last, this helps avoids removing loaned pages in operations that fail due to other handlers. CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active and resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time to adjust.
