As a stop gap, you can run menuconfig:

bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel
bitbake -c compile virtual/kernel -f

And add the kernel modules you need. The final ideal solution would be
to include a kernel config fragment for this kernel config option by
default for this and possibly other machines.
