Currently there are known potential issues for balloon and hot-add on ARM64:
* Unballoon requests from Hyper-V should only unballoon ranges that are guest page size aligned, otherwise guests cannot handle because it's impossible to partially free a page.
* Memory hot-add requests from Hyper-V should provide the NUMA node id of the added ranges or ARM64 should have a functional memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(), otherwise the node id is missing for add_memory().
These issues require discussions on design and implementation. In the meanwhile, post_status() is working and essiential to guest monitoring. Therefore instead of the entire hv_balloon driver, the balloon and hot-add are disabled accordingly for now. Once the issues are fixed, they can be re-enable in these cases.
