From: Igor Redko <redkoi@virtuozzo.com>

We are making experiments with different autoballooning strategies
based on the guest behavior. Thus we need to experiment with different
guest statistics. For now every counter change requires QEMU recompilation
and dances with Libvirt.

This patch introduces transport for unrecognized counters in virtio-balloon.
This transport can be used for measuring benefits from using new
balloon counters, before submitting any patches. Current alternative
is 'guest-exec' transport which isn't made for such delicate matters
and can influence test results.

Originally all counters with tag >= VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR were ignored.
Instead of this we keep first (VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR + 32) counters from the
queue and pass unrecognized ones with the following names: 'x-stat-XXXX',
where XXXX is a tag number in hex. Defined counters are reported with their
regular names.

Looks like a nice hack for your experiements, but I see relatively
little point in putting this upstream.  I might reconsider if I hear
from other developers who independently find this useful.
