I was confused because in Jessie vexpress was merged into the armmp flavour on armhf and I mistakenly remembered thattra 3.2 was the Jessie kernel rather than the Wheezy one (which it is). The virtio options in Wheezy's armhf/vexpress kernel flavour all involve PCI, not the DTB/mmio based stuff[0], and as you say there is no PCI on that platform so I guess they are probably useless, sorry. You could try the Jessie kernel with Wheezy userspace I guess. Ian.
