I was confused because in Jessie vexpress was merged into the armmp
flavour on armhf and I mistakenly remembered thattra 3.2 was the Jessie
kernel rather than the Wheezy one (which it is).
The virtio options in Wheezy's armhf/vexpress kernel flavour all
involve PCI, not the DTB/mmio based stuff[0], and as you say there is
no PCI on that platform so I guess they are probably useless, sorry.
You could try the Jessie kernel with Wheezy userspace I guess.
