[Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/7] xen/balloon: simplify test for the end of usable RAM

[David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>

When initializing the balloon only max_pfn needs to be checked
(max_pfn will always be <= e820_end_of_ram_pfn()) and improve the
confusing comment.
