Public bug reported:

So to do virtual machine / cloudy stuff things in the kernel config, are
not how one would expect them to be. Whilst investigating that I've went
ahead to compare all our kernel configs.

amd64/config.common.amd64:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
amd64/config.common.amd64:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
arm64/config.common.arm64:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
arm64/config.common.arm64:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
armhf/config.common.armhf:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
armhf/config.common.armhf:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
i386/config.common.i386:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
i386/config.common.i386:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
powerpc/config.common.powerpc:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
powerpc/config.common.powerpc:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
ppc64el/config.common.ppc64el:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
ppc64el/config.common.ppc64el:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y

but...
s390x/config.common.s390x:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m
s390x/config.common.s390x:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m


It would make sense to set CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK and _NET to "=y" on s390x.

Also:

amd64/config.common.amd64:CONFIG_KVM=m
arm64/config.common.arm64:CONFIG_KVM=y
armhf/config.common.armhf:CONFIG_KVM=y
i386/config.common.i386:CONFIG_KVM=m
powerpc/config.common.powerpc:CONFIG_KVM=y
ppc64el/config.common.ppc64el:CONFIG_KVM=y
s390x/config.common.s390x:CONFIG_KVM=m

Is a bit of mixed bag... x86+s390x have it as a module, yet
arm*+powerpc* have it built in? Maybe all arches should be =y ?

another one:
Is there something special about ZLIB_DEFLATE on s390x?

amd64/config.common.amd64:CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE=y
arm64/config.common.arm64:CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE=y
armhf/config.common.armhf:CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE=y
i386/config.common.i386:CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE=y
powerpc/config.common.powerpc:CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE=y
ppc64el/config.common.ppc64el:CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE=y

s390x/config.common.s390x:CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE=m
