Which new modules to include in 2.6.25 udebs
I compared the list of modules between 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 (for amd64
and i386) to see which new modules we should include in our udebs.
I have a hard time telling which modules are useful, but I'm including
my comments in the hope that other will will join in and comment:
> +arch/x86/crypto/salsa20-i586.ko
> +arch/x86/crypto/salsa20-x86_64.ko
Could be referenced in the xi386/amd64 udebs, but it seems they don't
list any arch specific crypto modules at the moment.
> +arch/x86/kvm/
> +arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.ko
> +arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko
> +arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko
Not relevant for the installer.
> -crypto/blkcipher.ko
> +crypto/crypto_blkcipher.ko
Rename handled already.
> +crypto/ccm.ko
> +crypto/ctr.ko
> +crypto/gcm.ko
> +crypto/lzo.ko
> +crypto/salsa20_generic.ko
> +crypto/seqiv.ko
I've no idea which would be useful.

"This driver is a required dependency to build the firmware specific
drivers needed on many machines, including Acer and HP laptops." Since
these drivers are not in kernel-wedge, I don't think we need this one.
