OK, but only one higher-level driver will set it up properly: kvm.  Neitherlguest nor s/390 do this, and as a result, they fail to register *any*devices.
The following patch should fix it for s/390 (it's identical to the lguestpatch), but would prefer testing (S/390-ers cc'd).
===virtio: S/390 set name of virtio devices directly.
Chris has a patch 'Fix silly output for virtio devices in /proc/interrupts'which requires callers to the virtio driver infrastructure to set the bus_idsthemselves.  This does that for s/390.
