[19.04 FEAT| Enable virtio-gpu for s390x
https:/
Addl description:
The graphical installers either require VNC to be set up on s390x to run or are not supported at all.
With virtio-gpu support the installers can start an X Windows server locally as they would on an x86 system.
The distributor most likely only needs to disable s390x specific handling in the installer (like starting a VNC server) and just launch the graphical UI used for installation if a virtio-gpu device is present.
Business Value: Allows to install s390x KVM guests without any extra setup activities, providing the same user experience as on other platforms.

Since graphical components are not supported by the Ubuntu Server distribution and since we follow a different philosophy on things like this, I'm marking this as Invalid and suggest to have a quick call on that.
