Alexander -- I finally caught up on the long discussion of balloon
driver reporting that occurred over much of August.  I think your
original plan had been for each of the balloon driver to report
useful information in debugfs.  But as a result of the discussion,
it looks like virtio-balloon will be putting the information in
/proc/meminfo.  If that's the case, it seems like we should
drop these changes to the Hyper-V balloon driver,  and have
the Hyper-V balloon driver take the same approach as
virtio-balloon.

These Hyper-V balloon driver changes have already gone
into 6.0-rc1.  If we're going to drop them, we should do
the revert before 6.0 is done.

Thoughts?
