Update the inflated memory in the mm core on change.

That says what this does, but not why it is needed.

Please expand on this.

Also, is this actually fixing a bug? Is it a new feature? Something
else?

The whole series is about adding a new feature - providing access to the balloon inflated memory amount - it's in the cover letter. Should I repeat it for every driver that implements it?

I've organized it classically:
- prepare
- add infra
- use the infra

What can I improve here?
