Bug Description

[Impact]

pigpio needs /dev/vcio but /dev/vcio is not present after boot of 5.11.

Turns out that 'vcio' is no longer built-in but changed to a module which is not auto-loaded.

[Test Case]

$ ls -la /dev/vcio
ls: cannot access '/dev/vcio': No such file or directory
$ modprobe vcio
$ ls -la /dev/vcio
crw------- 1 root root 240, 0 Mar 17 21:36 /dev/vcio

[Where Problems Could Occur]

Kernel crashes or splats during boot in case driver init is buggy.
