Linux has support for free page reporting now (36e66c554b) for
virtualized environment. On Hyper-V when virtually backed VMs are
configured, Hyper-V will advertise cold memory discard capability,
when supported. This patch adds the support to hook into the free
page reporting infrastructure and leverage the Hyper-V cold memory
discard hint hypercall to report/free these pages back to the host.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
