Subject: [PATCH] v2v: linux: improve arch detection from modules
(RHBZ#1690574)
Try to look for a well known kernel module (so far only virtio, or kvm)
to use for detecting the architecture of a kernel. This way, we can
avoid picking 3rd party modules that cause troubles.
(cherry picked from commit 363b5e0b4ecebe861a9aafe8bce5a8390b54571c)
