Subject[PATCH] hv_balloon: Add module parameter to configure balloon floor value
Date
Currently, the balloon floor value is automatically computed, but may be
too small depending on app usage of memory. This patch adds a balloon_floor
value as a module parameter that can be used to manually configure the
balloon floor value.
