Bug Description
Some drivers in Ubuntu are built as kernel built-in components, not allowing some module interesting features like blacklist on boot command-line or module removal/
This feature is a request to Canonical move some currently built-in drivers to module build system on Power platform, by changing the kernel config file.
The drivers in question are: tg3, virtio-blk and virtio-net.
The kernel config file parameters related to those 3 drivers are:
CONFIG_TIGON3, CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK and CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET.
They all are currently set as "=y"; we're requesting a change to "=m".
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme
