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.

Oh, sorry for first requesting you to add the domid as a parameter,
but now I realize this could be handled in the xenbus driver, as
struct xenbus_device already contains the otherend_id.
Would you mind dropping the parameter again, please?
