I assume this is copied from virtio_balloon.pfns, which also uses __virtio32, 
but
isn't that horribly broken?  PFNs are 'unsigned long', i.e. 64 bits on 64-bit 
kernels.
x86-64 at least most definitely generates 64-bit PFNs.  Unless there's magic I'm
missing, page_to_balloon_pfn() will truncate PFNs and feed the host bad info.

Not that it truly matters, but won't failure at this point leak the poisoned 
page?
