Cool!

Someone else spotted this recently, and the fix is in my recent pull
request to Linus:

virtio-balloon: dependency fix

Devices should depend on virtio, not select it. It's supposed to be
selected by the particular driver, e.g. VIRTIO_PCI.
Make balloon depend on VIRTIO and EXPERIMENTAL
(to match description).
