Public bug reported:
This a catch-all Launchpad report regarding the build failures of some
DKMS modules (like Nvidia drivers, virtualbox-hwe, ...) in linux-kvm.
The goal of linux-kvm kernel is to be a *very* minimal kernel for
virtualized environments (guests), with the bare minimum of Kconfigs
enabled, in order to have it booting really fast and with a reduced
attack surface. Given that, some DKMS may not work, like virtualbox-hwe
(which requires CONFIG_DRM_*).
The objective of this LP is to report such failures and use this
information "database" to help us mark Autopackage testing (ADT)
failures as _expected_, or else in every kernel cycle we will face the
same issues that show up as regressions, when they are in fact
incompatibilities between the test and the minimal linux-kvm kernel.
We could use the comments to report individual failures / attach logs.
