At some point we'll likely define an incompatible interface with a different ID and different semantics. But for now, it's not a big effort to support a transitional balloon device: this has the advantage of supporting existing drivers, transparently, as well as transports that don't allow mixing virtio 0 and virtio 1 devices. And balloon is an easy device to test, so it's also useful for people to test virtio core handling of transitional devices. The only interface issue is with the stats buffer, which has misaligned fields. We could leave it as is, but this sets a bad precedent that others might copy by mistake. As we need to change stats code to do byteswaps for virtio 1.0, it seems easy to fix by prepending a 6 byte reserved field. I also had to change config structure field types from __le32 to __u32 to match other devices. This means we need a couple of __force tags for legacy path but that seems minor. changes from v2: fix up stats endian-ness Changes from v1: correctly handle config space endian-ness Michael S.
