I actually fixed that locally a month ago at Debconf but couldn't test
it on emulated qemu. Apparently the issue with virtio_net not loading
does not apply to KVM and there it just works.

Updated package incoming for stretch at least. We will need to check
about backporting quite a bunch of s390x fixes to stable.

Kind regards
