| 224 | Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce |
| 225 | significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be |
| 226 | used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated |
| 227 | with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used |

| 382 | Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option |
| 383 | (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of |
| 384 | excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if |

| 793 | Device memory hotplug support allows for establishing pmem, |
| 794 | or other device driver discovered memory regions, in the |
| 795 | memmap. This allows pfn_to_page() lookups of otherwise |
| 796 | "device-physical" addresses which is needed for using a DAX |
| 797 | mapping in an O_DIRECT operation, among other things. |
