Andrea Bolognani b519a4cc9d tests: Request virtio-mmio for balloon-mmio-deflate
For all supported QEMU version, the virt machine type has a hard
dependency on PCI support, so if we want to test virtio-balloon
together with virtio-mmio we have to either request that
explicitly or trick libvirt by masking capabilities. Do the
former instead of the latter.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
