It's not there. Does this make it a KVM bug?

I'm attaching the PCI32.EXE output at the bottom of this email

BTW I would probably be able to switch to virtio anyway on this 
installation of Windows 2003, if I knew the way to insert the viostor 
driver into the windows boot image (windows's initrd), because if I set 
the first disk hda as virtio then kvm really makes it virtio (so maybe 
it's a configuration with one IDE and one virtio that does not work in 
KVM) and Windows bluescreens at boot. However I don't know how to insert 
the viostor driver in the windows boot image. Any suggestions?
