[Bug 1712491] [NEW] Add backported bnxt driver to the initramfs

[Juerg Haefliger]

Public bug reported:

We're adding a backported bnxt driver to Xenial (LP #1711056). It's an
alternate for the regular Xenial driver that only manages NICs that are
not supported by the regular Xenial driver. But it's a boot-critical
driver so it needs to be added to the initramfs.
