Comment 17 for bug 1475078

I installed Linux 4.8 from "Ubuntu Kernel Team PPA" (ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa) on my Xenial, here is the result:

--
grep VIRTIO /boot/config-4.8.0-25-generic
CONFIG_VIRTIO_VSOCKETS=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_VSOCKETS_COMMON=m
CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
CONFIG_CAIF_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI_LEGACY=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_INPUT=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES=y

 Still not modular... :-(

 Any plans to make this available to Xenial via "linux-image-generic-lts-yakkety" ?
