Prevent the Xen and VirtIO balloon drivers from marking pages as
wired. This prevents them from increasing the system wired page count,
which can lead to mlock failing because of hitting the limit in
vm.max_wired.
In the Xen case make sure pages are zeroed before giving them back to
the hypervisor, or else we might be leaking data. Also remove the
balloon_{append/retrieve} and link pages directly into the
ballooned_pages queue using the plinks.q field in the page struct.
