We experimented the kernel but some modules aren't included - we might need 
some more.
We're on discussion on which of them are necessary, but as for now, I can say 
at least the modules kvm_hv and kvm_pr are not included and are necessary.

Will update here soon with more news.
Thanks,

Guilherme

  Hello Canonical,

  There are important kernel modules that are required on POWER systems,
  and they are currently on the linux-image-extra packages.

  So, in this case, every Power system needs to install the -extra
  package, which makes the -extra package required.

  My suggestion is to add these important modules to the main archive,
  so, we do not require the installation of the -extra package.

  We are working on the full list of packages, but I would like to
  anticipate these modules:

  01. lpfc
  02. qla2xxx
  03. be2net
  04. bnx2x
  05. i40e
  06. igb
  07. ixgbe
  08. cxl
  09. cxlflash
  10. jsm
  11. ohci-platform
  12. xhci
  13. aacraid
  14. ipr
  15. megaraid_sas
  16. mpt3sas
  17. powernv-rng
  18. ipmi_powernv
  19. leds-powernv
  20. ibmpowernv
  21. opal-prd
  22. powernv_flash
  23. nx-compress-powernv
  24. vfio (all modules:  vfio.ko, vfio-pci.ko, vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.ko, 
vfio_virqfd.ko, vfio_spapr_eeh.ko)

  
  *Notice*
  The driver "qlge" is presented in the preliminary list but it's not necessary.

  Thanks in advance,
