[Bug 1832131] [NEW] Linux on Raspberry Pi kernels have KVM disabled

[justmaybe]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

Despite the Raspberry Pi hardware being able of using KVM
virtualization, CONFIG_KVM is disabled on the downstream Ubuntu kernels,
making the feature not usable.

(and the generic kernels do not have the DTBs for the 3B+ too, so no
workaround there)

The feature is expected to be enabled, and works on some other
distributions even.

This was tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, on arm64 Ubuntu 18.04.

Thanks,
