imho, this page is containing old stuff. For instance, on kernels like
the one on wheezy, ata_piix is _already_ disabled on HyperV
automatically. Also, I don't see the point of creating a -virtual
flavour since generic kernels should just work (as long as all needed
patches are backported or already merged).
