Will allow faster notifications using a bitmap down the road.
balloon_pfn_to_page() can be removed because it's useless.

This is a pretty terse description of what's going on here.  Could you
try to elaborate a bit?  What *is* the current approach?  Why does it
not work going forward?  What do you propose instead?  Why is it better?

Sure. The description will be more clear if it's described as you suggest. Thanks!
