The balloon code currently calls madvise() with TARGET_PAGE_SIZE as length parameter. Since the virtio-balloon protocol is always based on 4k pages, no matter what the host and guest are using as page size, this could cause problems: If TARGET_PAGE_SIZE is bigger than 4k, the madvise call also destroys the 4k areas after the current one - which might be wrong since the guest did not want free that area yet (in case the guest used as smaller MMU page size than the hard-coded TARGET_PAGE_SIZE). So to fix this issue, introduce a proper define called BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE (which is 4096) to use this as the size parameter for the madvise() call instead.
