[systemd-devel] kvm modules don't load any more with kernel >= 3.11

[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

a while ago we got a report (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1207705) that
with kernel >= 3.11 the kvm modules (in particular, kvm_intel) don't
get autoloaded any more. Andy (CC'ed) fixed that back then with the
attached patch to 80-drivers.rules. Yesterday on the Debian systemd
sprint this was confirmed by someone else who runs pure systemd on
Debian with the Debian kernel, so it doesn't seem to be an unique
quirk of either the Ubuntu kernel or the previous Ubuntu systemd
modifications.

I just confirmed that on linux 3.13, kmod 16, and systemd 204 (I know,
old, but the corresponding udev rules didn't change since then). Is
that something which ought to be in 80-drivers.rules, or is that a
kernel regression? Andy's description suggests the former, and he can
hopefully chime in.

Thanks,

Martin
