[Zhang, Xiong Y] OK, I will apply it. thanks

[Zhang, Xiong Y] bl_info.space[i] is initialized only on specific condition in intel_vgt_balloon(). When guest i915 driver is unloaded, intel_vgt_deballon() go through all four bl_info.space[3:0] and call drm_mm_remove_node() for each. If one isn't initialized, warning and reference null pointer occur in drm_mm_remove_node().
I will update commit message. Thanks.

[Zhang, Xiong Y] bl_info is internal static variable, only intel_vgt_deballoon() consume it at driver unload, it deballoon reserved ggtt space.
