Enable virtio modules (mmio and socket)

This PR enable in the Flatcar kernel the modules to

  • mount Virtio MMIO device when the device is passed in as kernel flag (this is the case for Firecracker)

  • enable the module vmw_vsock_virtio_transport - this is needed to enable vsock (Firecracker uses it)

How to use

These are needed to be able to run properly Flatcar kernel on Firecracker.

Testing done

I still haven't tested this. I would need to create a kernel (and image too?) to test it.

This has been tested cooking a kernel with these flags on and running Firecracker VMs
