This was x86. Not sure if that did work before.
On s390 this is definitely a regression as the defconfig files 
for s390 do select VHOST_NET

grep VHOST arch/s390/configs/*
arch/s390/configs/debug_defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_NET=m
arch/s390/configs/debug_defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m
arch/s390/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_NET=m
arch/s390/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m

and this worked with 5.6, but does not work with next. Just adding
CONFIG_VHOST=m to the defconfig solves the issue, something like
