From f790eb57e6ec8d77489755cc25a51c4409e2f590 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Williamson Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2017 13:13:25 -0700 Subject: vfio/mdev: Use a module softdep for vfio_mdev Use an explicit module softdep rather than a request module call such that the dependency is exposed to userspace. This allows us to more easily support modules loaded at initrd time.
