[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fix balloon handling of highmem pages

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I knocked up a quick patch to fix the balloon driver's handling of highmem 
pages.  Should apply cleanly to the Linux dev tree.  I can also submit it for 
3.1 if wanted.

Without this, LowTotal can go negative (given it's an unsigned integer) and 
then appears as ~4Gig, which is a bit silly.

I beliee this fixes Anthony Wright's bug #733 in Bugzilla 
(http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=733).  Credit to 
Anthony for noticing the problem, and figuring out that he was actually 
seeing an unsigned int going "negative".

Cheers,
Mark
