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.
