File 0041-vfio-ap-flag-as-compatible-with-bal.patch of Package qemu

Subject: vfio-ap: flag as compatible with balloon

vfio-ap devices do not pin any pages in the host. Therefore, they
are compatible with memory ballooning.

Flag them as compatible, so both vfio-ap and a balloon can be
used simultaneously.
