According to the changelog it has been enabled in 3.14.7-1 on all architectures:
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/l/linux/stable_changelog
Are you referring to the
* [armhf] Enable VIRTIO_BALLOON and VIRTIO_PCI (Closes: #750742)
entry? That's armhf, not arm64. Or was there a different
reference that I missed?
Anyway, in my 8.5 arm64 guest, virtio-pci doesn't seem to
be there at all:
$ grep VIRTIO /boot/config-3.16.0-4-arm64
CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m
CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=m
# CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES is not set
