As for 9pvirtio, which is what Stefanos is talking about, you can read
“Filesystem Passthrough for KVM”:  this is the modern way to expose a
directory from the host to KVM guests [0] (the other possibility being
the virtual FAT drives [1], which are slow, very limited, and now
deprecated by QEMU).

Notice also the minus sign in front of 'moreinfo'
It means "remove".

No.



Long:

When the bugreport, BR,  came in, I had never heard of "9p" before.
I saw a debian-installer BR for a kernel issue, adding kernel modules.

Avoiding yes-no-question "Are the modules in the kernel?", I
asked "What are kernel modules names?" and attempt to tag for more information.
That tagging failed, there is no tag 'Moreinfo', it is 'moreinfo'

When I did "Control: tag -1 -moreinfo" I was saying two things:
 * no more extra information needed
 * I have learnt that the tage 'moreinfo' is all lowercase

P.S.
I'm aware that my attempt to merge #809435 with #811198 failed.

The 
  Control: block -1 by 811198
is new attempt to cross-reference  both bugs at meta level.
They are allready referenced with URLs.

Shouldn't the modules come from the same build as the kernel?  If yes
then the block is more appropriate, since the relevant modules for
9pvirtio (9pnet-virtio, 9p and its dependencies 9pnet and fscache) are
currently available in the regular kernel, but not in the d-i kernel.
