OK, I've merged this with one change:

+static void stats_sg_init(struct virtio_balloon *vb, struct scatterlist *sg)
+{
+	sg_init_one(sg, vb->stats, sizeof(vb->stats));
+}
+
...
-	sg_init_one(&sg, vb->stats, sizeof(vb->stats));
+	stats_sg_init(vb, &sg);

This is no longer a meaningful change, so I removed it.

Here's the final result:

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: virtio_balloon: transitional interface

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.
