It is a bit of pity that __GFP_NOWARN here is applied to only xb_preload().
Memory allocation by xb_set_bit() will after all emit warnings. Maybe

  xb_init(&vb->page_xb);
  vb->page_xb.gfp_mask |= __GFP_NOWARN;

is tolerable? Or, unconditionally apply __GFP_NOWARN at xb_init()?

  static inline void xb_init(struct xb *xb)
  {
          INIT_RADIX_TREE(&xb->xbrt, IDR_RT_MARKER | GFP_NOWAIT);
  }

You cannot "break;" without consuming all pages in "pages".

You can pass use_sg as an argument to leak_balloon(). Then, you won't
need to define leak_balloon_sg_oom(). Since xbitmap allocation does not
use __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, it is safe to reuse leak_balloon() for OOM path.
Just be sure to pass use_sg == false because memory allocation for
use_sg == true likely fails when called from OOM path. (But trying
use_sg == true for OOM path and then fallback to use_sg == false is not bad?)

Want more explicit comment that PFN lists will be used on OOM and therefore
the host side must be prepared for both sg and PFN lists even if negotiated?
