Title:
  Missing modules for cryptography and NFSv4

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are two essential kernel modules that are missing from some
  linux kernel packages under Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS:

  nfsv4.ko and aes-x86_64.ko (matter-of-fact any crypto module)

  I found them both missing in linux-kvm and nfsv4.ko missing in linux-
  generic - both are present in linux-generic-hwe-18.04.

  
  The use cases for these are not far-fetched:

  In an Ubuntu KVM guest, I often need virtual disks that I can encrypt
  via LUKS in order to protect them (somewhat). Obviously, this is not
  possible without the crypto modules, which are not present in the KVM-
  specialised kernel package 'linux-kvm'.

  On the other hand, when I want to mount NFS storage, I cannot use
  NFSv4, which is the preferred way of doing it when you need
  firewalling. Why this fails is not at all obvious, since the use-level
  "mount.nfs4" is present, but only gives cryptic messages, not showing
  that a kernel module is missing.

  And even with the default kernel (linux-generic), which has some more
  modules, NFSv4 client support is missing.

  Do I really have to use linux-generic-hwe-18.04 for that? It seems a bit much.
