+Description: Default value for the Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) on
+ a CPU.
+ This default value is used when the kernel is executing and
+ for any process that has not set the DSCR itself.
+ If a process ever sets the DSCR (via direct access to the
+ SPR) that value will be persisted for that process and used
+ on any CPU where it executes (overriding the value described
+ here).
+ If set by a process it will be inherited by child processes.

+Description:
+ The current number of times that the balloon driver

+Description:
+ The time (in seconds) to wait between attempts to
+ increase the balloon. Each time the balloon cannot be
+ increased, 'schedule_delay' is increased (until
+ 'max_schedule_delay' is reached at which point it
+ will use the max value).
