You have to rebuild initrd, and there's a difficult circular dependency to be resolved when doing this because you need to be using virtio_blk in order for mkinitrd to believe that you need it, although possibly mkinitrd supports some command line argument to override this. I actually gave up at this point. For newly installed guests, recent anaconda just works everything out for you and puts the correct drivers into initrd.
