Bug Description
Hello Canonical,
there are important kernel modules that are required on POWER systems, and they are currently on the linux-image-extra packages.
So, in this case, every Power system needs to install the -extra package, which makes the -extra package required.
Our suggestion is to add these important modules to the main kernel package, so we do not require the installation of the -extra package.
One round of additions was already completed. But we verified some modules we need were missing, so we are hereby requesting a 2nd round of module additions to linux-image main package of Xenial and Yakkety (and all future releases).
The list is:
(AST stack)
1. ast
2. i2c-core
3. sysfillrect
4. syscopyarea
5. sysimgblt
6. fb_sys_fops
7. drm
8. drm_kms_helper
9. ttm
10. i2c-algo-bit
11. kvm
12. kvm_pr
13. kvm_hv
14. vmx_crypto
15. at24
16. nvmem_core
17. cmdlinepart
18. input_leds
19. uio
20. uio_pdrv_genirq
21. ofpart
(USB stack)
22. usb_storage
23. uas
24. hid
25. hid_generic
26. usbhid
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme
