I need a lot more information to be able to evaluate this request. Can you provide additional details, including the problem that this solves, who is asking for it, when you need it, and so on? Thanks.

Comment 3 Sameeh Jubran 2017-05-21 05:46:16 UTC

A new Null driver was introduced to virtio-win (https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/commit/afe9209039f82247658b72e164bb0b680b45e501) which solves this bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1393772. This driver needs to be packaged.

It is needed as soon as possible as we are hoping to ship it in the next build.
