Testing ReactOS in qemu made it always asking drivers for a RAM Controller.

Looking at "info pci" output and hw/pc.c, I see that the Virtio balloon device is always loaded in an x86/64 target.
Is that a wanted feature ?

I also notice that hw/virtio-balloon.c header refers to the Virtio Block Device.

 Kind regards,
Sylvain Petreolle

Sure, as I see no harm in not enabling it by default.  ReactOS doesn't 
just ignore unknown PCI devices?  That's strange because Windows seems to.
