9:40 a.m.
Previously the kernel_info field called 'ki_supports_virtio' really
meant that the kernel supports virtio-net. That was used as a proxy
to mean the kernel supports virtio in general.
This change splits the field so we explicitly test for both virtio-blk
and virtio-net drivers, and store the results as separate fields.
The patch is straightforward, except for the change to the
'rebuild_initrd' function. Instead of making the module list
conditional on whether virtio-net is available and using the old
(probably wrong) fallback if it happens to be unavailable, this now
tries to enable the common virtio kernel modules (just the ones needed
for virtio-blk and virtio-net to work). The fallback is only used if
none of the common virtio modules can be found.
