Hi Jon:

I mean e.g compiling qemu with new linux headers. E.g current qemu has:

static const char *balloon_stat_names[] = {
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SWAP_IN] = "stat-swap-in",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SWAP_OUT] = "stat-swap-out",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MAJFLT] = "stat-major-faults",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MINFLT] = "stat-minor-faults",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MEMFREE] = "stat-free-memory",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MEMTOT] = "stat-total-memory",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL] = "stat-available-memory",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_CACHES] = "stat-disk-caches",
   [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR] = NULL
};

I'm afraid it will be broken if VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR is 10.

Thanks
