  virtio_balloon: fix handling of PAGE_SIZE != 4k (2012-04-15 11:51:06 +0300)

virtio: fixes on top of 3.4-rc2

Here are some virtio fixes for 3.4:
a test build fix, a patch by Ren fixing naming for systems with a massive
number of virtio blk devices, and balloon fixes for powerpc
by David Gibson.

There was some discussion about Ren's patch for virtio disc naming: some people
wanted to move the legacy name mangling function to the block core.  But
there's no concensus on that yet, and we can always deduplicate later.
Added comments in the hope that this will stop people from
copying this legacy naming scheme into future drivers.
