Cool!

Someone else spotted this recently, and the fix is in my recent pull
request to Linus:

commit 04679f34c141a0591e525d392929efc249440a7c

    virtio-balloon: dependency fix
    
    Devices should depend on virtio, not select it.  It's supposed to be
    selected by the particular driver, e.g. VIRTIO_PCI.
    Make balloon depend on VIRTIO and EXPERIMENTAL
    (to match description).
