[Impact]
GCE C3 Metal instance type requires the Intel IDPF driver for networking to function.
On the Mantic kernel, this was built into the kernel:
# grep IDPF /boot/config-6.5.0-1020-gcp
CONFIG_IDPF=y
On Noble, this is now been included as a module, in modules-extra:
# grep IDPF /boot/config-6.8.0-1007-gcp
CONFIG_IDPF=m
# dpkg -S /lib/modules/6.8.0-1007-gcp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf.ko.zst
linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-1007-gcp: /lib/modules/6.8.0-1007-gcp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf.ko.zst
modules-extra is not included in GCP cloud images, and thus, C3 Metal instance types have no networking. They cannot install modules-extra either.
[Fix]
Set CONFIG_IDPF=y for GCP kernels.
Leave -generic as CONFIG_IDPF=m for all architectures.
[Testcase]
$ grep -Rin "IDPF" /boot/config-$(uname -r)
CONFIG_IDPF=y
Check /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf.ko
[Where problems could occur]
We are building the IDPF driver into the kernel image. This will slightly increase the kernel size by a negligible amount. |

A test package is available in the following ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~mruffell/+archive/ubuntu/sf385823-test
If you install it, the IDPF driver will be available in the kernel image, instead of the module being built.
e.g.
$ grep -Rin "IDPF" /boot/config-$(uname -r)
CONFIG_IDPF=y
