* This is VMware physical memory management driver for Linux. The driver
* acts like a "balloon" that can be inflated to reclaim physical pages by
* reserving them in the guest and invalidating them in the monitor,
* freeing up the underlying machine pages so they can be allocated to
* other guests. The balloon can also be deflated to allow the guest to
* use more physical memory. Higher level policies can control the sizes
* of balloons in VMs in order to manage physical memory resources.
