This driver is like virtio-balloon on steroids for Windows guests:
it allows both changing the guest memory allocation via ballooning and
inserting pieces of extra RAM into it on demand from a provided memory
backend via Windows-native Hyper-V Dynamic Memory protocol.
* Preparatory patches to support empty memory devices and ones with
large alignment requirements.
* Revert of recently added "hw/virtio/virtio-pmem: Replace impossible
check by assertion" commit 5960f254db since this series makes this
situation possible again.
* Protocol definitions.
* Hyper-V DM protocol driver (hv-balloon) base (ballooning only).
* Hyper-V DM protocol driver (hv-balloon) hot-add support.
* qapi query-memory-devices support for the driver.
* qapi HV_BALLOON_STATUS_REPORT event.
* The relevant PC machine plumbing.
* New MAINTAINERS entry for the above.
