virtio_balloon: transitional interface

Browse source 
Virtio 1.0 doesn't include a modern balloon device.
But it's not a big change to support a transitional
balloon device: this has the advantage of supporting
existing drivers, transparently.

* Memory statistics structure.
* Driver fills an array of these structures and passes to device.
*
* NOTE: fields are laid out in a way that would make compiler add padding
* between and after fields, so we have to use compiler-specific attributes to
* pack it, to disable this padding. This also often causes compiler to
* generate suboptimal code.
*
* We maintain this statistics structure format for backwards compatibility,
* but don't follow this example.
*
* If implementing a similar structure, do something like the below instead:
* struct virtio_balloon_stat {
* __virtio16 tag;
* __u8 reserved[6];
* __virtio64 val;
* };
*
* In other words, add explicit reserved fields to align field and
* structure boundaries at field size, avoiding compiler padding
* without the packed attribute.
