Dimitri - virtio was never removed from the d-i configuration files, so I think we're OK.

Also, modules has debug advantages compared to built-in kernel components, like the possibility to easy build custom-debug modules against kernel tree and replace them using modprobe on running system. This feature is a request to Canonical move some currently built-in drivers to module build system on Power platform, by changing the kernel config file. The drivers in question are: tg3, virtio-blk and virtio-net. The kernel config file parameters related to those 3 drivers are: CONFIG_TIGON3, CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK and CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET. They all are currently set as "=y"; we're requesting a change to "=m".
