541dc0d47f Use new macro QEMU_PACKED for packed structures
Most changes were made using these commands:

git grep -la '__attribute__((packed))'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/__attribute__\(\(packed\)\)/QEMU_PACKED/'
git grep -la '__attribute__ ((packed))'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/__attribute__ \(\(packed\)\)/QEMU_PACKED/'
git grep -la '__attribute__((__packed__))'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/__attribute__\(\(__packed__\)\)/QEMU_PACKED/'
git grep -la '__attribute__ ((__packed__))'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/__attribute__ \(\(__packed__\)\)/QEMU_PACKED/'
git grep -la '__attribute((packed))'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/__attribute\(\(packed\)\)/QEMU_PACKED/'

Whitespace in linux-user/syscall_defs.h was fixed manually
to avoid warnings from scripts/checkpatch.pl.

Manual changes were also applied to hw/pc.c.

I did not fix indentation with tabs in block/vvfat.c.
The patch will show 4 errors with scripts/checkpatch.pl.

625a5befc2 virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver
When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for
guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information
that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests.  The current method
employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a
host daemon at a specified time interval.  The host daemon aggregates this
information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of
host memory pressure.  This approach is effective but overly complex since a
daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with
the host.  A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio
balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.

bd3220870f Add virtio-balloon support
This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver.  It uses madvise() to actually balloon
the memory when possible.

Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the
kernel actually supports it when using KVM.  It's always safe when using TCG.
