The purpose of these messages is to let the user know if the kernel hasn't been built with the correct Kconfig options to take advantage of the said devices (all using virtio). Since then, kvmtool has evolved and now supports loading different payloads (like firmware images), and having those warnings even when it is entirely intentional for the payload not to touch the devices can be confusing for the user and makes the output unnecessarily verbose in those cases. Add the --nocompat option to disable the warnings; the warnings are still enabled by default.
