In this case the legacy mechanism is used with 2MB page. The VM would report a 2MB page is ballooned, and the hypervisor would only take the first 4KB. While the hypervisor should not report such settings, make the code more robust by not enabling 2MB support without batching. Fixes: 365bd7ef7ec8e ("VMware balloon: Support 2m page ballooning.")
