main/linux-lts: enable mlx4_en in virt kernel to use SR-IOV VFs in VM

Mauricio Sandt requested to merge m.sandt/aports:mlx4 into master

Today I wanted to pass a virtual function of my SR-IOV NIC (Mellanox ConnectX-3) to an alpine VM with the virt kernel, only to notice that it didn't load any drivers for it.

The pcie device in the host uses the same drivers as the VF inside the VM, I guess thats why it wasn't enabled for virt before.

I installed the lts kernel for now and it works perfectly fine, mlx4_en is available and loaded
