Looks like we are better off sticking with the misaligned stat struct,
to reduce the amount of virtio 1 specific code in balloon. So let's do
it.
Add a detailed comment to reduce the chance people copy this bad example.
This also fixes a bug on BE architectures: tag should use
cpu_to_le16, not cpu_to_le32.

Just reposting so it's easier to apply.
Feel free to squash into previous patch if you think it's
neater.
