Especially, we want to make sure that technologies that really rely on RAM block discards to work reliably to run mutual exclusive with technologies that break it. E.g., vfio will usually pin all guest memory, turning the virtio-balloon basically useless and make the VM consume more memory than reported via the balloon. While the balloon is special already (=> no guarantees, same behavior possible afer reboots and with huge pages), this will be different, especially, with virtio-mem. Let's implement a way such that we can make both types of technology run mutually exclusive. We'll convert existing balloon inhibitors in successive patches and add some new ones. Add the check to qemu_balloon_is_inhibited() for now. We might want to make virtio-balloon an acutal inhibitor in the future - however, that requires more thought to not break existing setups.
