From: Luiz capitulino <lcapitulino@xxxxxxxxxx> This is necessary for automatic ballooning. If the guest gets under pressure while there's an on-going inflation operation, we want the guest to do the following: 1. Stop on-going inflation 2. Notify the host we're under pressure 3. Wait for host's acknowledge While the guest is waiting the host has the opportunity to reset num_pages to a value before the guest got into pressure. This will cancel current inflation.
