[PATCH 0/1] [F/I/J linux-aws] Include tcm_loop.ko

[Tim Gardner]

SRU Justification

[Impact]

It seems that although the Azure kernel distribution includes the `tcm_loop`
module by default, the EKS-optimised image's default kernel doesn't, instead
including the module in the `linux-kernel-extras-$(uname -r)` package.

`tcm_loop` is an incredibly useful package for any storage fabric software
packages - eg. Ceph, Rook or Ondat. It would be very helpful to have it
embedded into the default kernel distribution in order to reduce friction
on installing 'storage fabric' type topologies.

The Ubuntu on EKS images are all listed in https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/docs/aws/eks/
- I'd be happy to provide any information necessary to help shave off this
extra bit of work required to setup such images.

[Fix]

Add tcm_loop.ko to the inclusion list

[Test Case]

Check that linux-modules includes tcp_loop.ko

[Where things could go wrong]

Moving tcm_loop.ko from linux-modules-extra could impact proprietary methods.
