xen: remove tmem driver

The Xen tmem (transcendent memory) driver can be removed, as the
related Xen hypervisor feature never made it past the "experimental"
state and will be removed in future Xen versions (>= 4.13).

The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too.

- * Xen selfballoon driver (and optional frontswap self-shrinking driver)
- *
- * Copyright (c) 2009-2011, Dan Magenheimer, Oracle Corp.
- *
- * This code complements the cleancache and frontswap patchsets to optimize
- * support for Xen Transcendent Memory ("tmem").  The policy it implements
- * is rudimentary and will likely improve over time, but it does work well
- * enough today.
- *
- * Two functionalities are implemented here which both use "control theory"
- * (feedback) to optimize memory utilization. In a virtualized environment
- * such as Xen, RAM is often a scarce resource and we would like to ensure
- * that each of a possibly large number of virtual machines is using RAM
- * efficiently, i.e. using as little as possible when under light load
- * and obtaining as much as possible when memory demands are high.
- * Since RAM needs vary highly dynamically and sometimes dramatically,
- * "hysteresis" is used, that is, memory target is determined not just
- * on current data but also on past data stored in the system.
- *
- * "Selfballooning" creates memory pressure by managing the Xen balloon
- * driver to decrease and increase available kernel memory, driven
- * largely by the target value of "Committed_AS" (see /proc/meminfo).
- * Since Committed_AS does not account for clean mapped pages (i.e. pages
- * in RAM that are identical to pages on disk), selfballooning has the
- * affect of pushing less frequently used clean pagecache pages out of
- * kernel RAM and, presumably using cleancache, into Xen tmem where
- * Xen can more efficiently optimize RAM utilization for such pages.
- *
- * When kernel memory demand unexpectedly increases faster than Xen, via
- * the selfballoon driver, is able to (or chooses to) provide usable RAM,
- * the kernel may invoke swapping.  In most cases, frontswap is able
- * to absorb this swapping into Xen tmem.  However, due to the fact
- * that the kernel swap subsystem assumes swapping occurs to a disk,
- * swapped pages may sit on the disk for a very long time; even if
- * the kernel knows the page will never be used again.  This is because
- * the disk space costs very little and can be overwritten when
- * necessary.  When such stale pages are in frontswap, however, they
- * are taking up valuable real estate.  "Frontswap selfshrinking" works
- * to resolve this:  When frontswap activity is otherwise stable
- * and the guest kernel is not under memory pressure, the "frontswap
- * selfshrinking" accounts for this by providing pressure to remove some
- * pages from frontswap and return them to kernel memory.
- *
- * For both "selfballooning" and "frontswap-selfshrinking", a worker
- * thread is used and sysfs tunables are provided to adjust the frequency
- * and rate of adjustments to achieve the goal, as well as to disable one
- * or both functions independently.
- *
- * While some argue that this functionality can and should be implemented
- * in userspace, it has been observed that bad things happen (e.g. OOMs).
- *
- * System configuration note: Selfballooning should not be enabled on
- * systems without a sufficiently large swap device configured; for best
- * results, it is recommended that total swap be increased by the size
- * of the guest memory. Note, that selfballooning should be disabled by default
- * if frontswap is not configured.  Similarly selfballooning should be enabled
- * by default if frontswap is configured and can be disabled with the
- * "tmem.selfballooning=0" kernel boot option.  Finally, when frontswap is
- * configured, frontswap-selfshrinking can be disabled  with the
- * "tmem.selfshrink=0" kernel boot option.
- *
- * Selfballooning is disallowed in domain0 and force-disabled.
