Public bug reported:
The KVM flavour kernel is missing NVMe block support. This means one
can't boot the minimal cloud images off an (emulated) nvme drive (as
supported in qemu and other VMMs).
root@ubuntu:~# modprobe nvme
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvme not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-1048-kvm
Seems like CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME should be set, compare linux-kvm vs
linux-gcp:
