Subject[PATCH v2] vfio/mdev: Use a module softdep for vfio_mdev
From
Date
Use an explicit module softdep rather than a request module call such
that the dependency is exposed to userspace. This allows us to more
easily support modules loaded at initrd time.

Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
---

v2: Remove request_module call as well, update description.
