[PATCH v3 1/6] virtio: add API to detect legacy devices

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

transports need to be able to detect legacy-only
devices (ATM balloon only) to use legacy path
to drive them.

Add a core API to do just that.
The implementation just blacklists balloon:
not too pretty, but let's not over-engineer.
