In former times, the virtio-console code had to be compiled into the kernel since the old guest virtio transport had some hard de- pendencies. But since the old virtio transport has been removed in commit7fb2b2d512("s390/virtio: remove the old KVM virtio transport"), we do not have this limitation anymore. Commitbb533ec8ba("s390/config: do not select VIRTIO_CONSOLE via Kconfig") then also lifted the hard setting in the Kconfig system, so we can finally switch the CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE knob to compile this driver as a module now, making it more flexible for the user to only load it if it is really required.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
