SRU Justification
[Impact]
These modules are currently shipped in linux-modules-extra. They are useful in
virtual environments for allowing the host OS to detect crashed guests, so it
makes sense to ship them in linux-modules so that they will be included when
linux-virtual is installed.
drivers/misc/pvpanic/pvpanic.ko
drivers/misc/pvpanic/pvpanic-mmio.ko
drivers/misc/pvpanic/pvpanic-pci.ko
[Test Plan]
* Compile and boot tested.
[Regression Potential]
* None. Modules were previously in linux-modules-extra package which is dependent
on linux-modules (not includes the pvpanic modules). So, we don't end up with a
configuration where pvpanic modules are not installed.
