virtio: handle > 2 billion page balloon targets

If the host asks for a huge target towards_target() can overflow, and
we up oops as we try to release more pages than we have. The simple
fix is to use a 64-bit value.

virtio: balloon driver

After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio
balloon can be made even simpler. Here's my attempt.

The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should
take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page
numbers it has taken via one virtqueue.

A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if
the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this
queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply
fault the pages back in).

This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a
shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of
in-guest regulators.
