Granting pages consumes backend system memory. In systems configured
with insufficient spare memory for those pages, it can cause a memory
pressure situation. However, finding the optimal amount of the spare
memory is challenging for large systems having dynamic resource
utilization patterns. Also, such a static configuration might lacks a
flexibility.
To mitigate such problems, this commit adds a memory reclaim callback to
'xenbus_driver'. Using this facility, 'xenbus' would be able to monitor
a memory pressure and request specific domains of specific backend
drivers which causing the given pressure to voluntarily release its
memory.
That said, this commit simply requests every callback registered driver
to release its memory for every domain, rather than issueing the
requests to the drivers and domain in charge. Such things would be a
future work. Also, this commit focuses on memory only. However, it
would be ablt to be extended for general resources.

Can you please add a comment here regarding semantics of specifying
DOMID_INVALID as domid?
Block maintainers, would you be fine with me carrying this series
through the Xen tree?
