Bug Description

[Impact]

Infiniband and Mellanox modules are currently built-in which makes impossible for users to build and load OFED drivers.

[Test Case]

Users should be able to build and load OFED drivers without conflicting with the built-in drivers.

[Regression Potential]

The major regression potential is related to the linux-modules or linux-modules-extra packages. The built-in modules should be build as loadable modules and placed at the linux-modules package, having then in the linux-modules-extra package will cause issues for current users.

I'm still not see kernels in proposed for bionic and xenial. Please let me know if they will not make it into proposed today.
