VIRTIO_BALOON is a driver that supports increasing and decreasing the amount
of memory within a KVM guest, while VIRTIO_MMIO provides support for memory
mapped virtio platform device driver.

Both of them were built-in in Trusty while Utopic is missing them
(thus it's a regression).

Moreover, when VIRTIO_MMIO is missing, other drivers like VIRTIO_NET and VIRTIO_BLOCK
have to resort using an emulated device with sensible performance degradation.

Proposing for Utopic/master-next.
