Package: udev
Version: 0.141
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Current version of udev does not support loading of drivers for VIO
devices, so kernel modules needed to use sparc LDOMs (sunvdc, sunvnet)
have to be loaded manually. Ubuntu had support for automatically
loading these modules for a while, but dropped the patches at some point,
as they don't support sparc anymore. As far as I can tell, the latest
version of udev in Ubuntu, containing relevant patches, is 124-12:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/124-12

We would need an equivalent of debian/patches/80-extras-vio_type.patch
from this package, which would then allow to use directives like

ENV{VIO_TYPE}=="vdisk",                 RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba sunvdc"
ENV{VIO_TYPE}=="vnet",                  RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba sunvnet"

This is taken from debian/rules.d/90-modprobe.rules in Ubuntu's udev 124-12.

Thanks.
