[Bug 408108] [NEW] [needs-packaging] backport PCI Stub driver into Jaunty kernels

[jiribb]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image

Please backport PCI Stub driver which first first appeared in 2.6.29 -
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c70e0d9dfef3d826c8ae4f7544acc53887cb161d
- so we can assign PCI devices into virtual machines in KVM. Description
for assigning PCI devices into KVM is at http://www.linux-kvm.org/page
/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM.

I personally build pci-stub.ko from vanilla kernel with this Makefile
but it would be nice to have it in generic Jaunty kernel.

Makefile for building pci-stub.ko:

obj-m += pci-stub.o
 
all:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
 
clean:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean

Notes: pci-stub.c can be built OK with Jaunty kernel (2.6.28-15-generic).
