Bug description:
  === SRU Justification ===
  [Impact]
  Intel's VF drivers such as igbvf and ixgbevf are already available in
  generic. It makes sense to add i40evf especially for SR-IOV enabled clouds with Intel X710/XXV710/XL710.

  [Fix]
  Add i40evf to linux-modules package

  [Test]
  Extract linux-modules to check if i40evf is there

  [Regression Potential]
  Low                           

  ========= original bug description =========
  For example with bionic, i40evf module is in linux-modules-extra-4.15*-generic. However, cloudimg doesn't have linux-modules-extra seeded:

  $ curl -s http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.manifest | grep linux-
  linux-base      4.5ubuntu1
  linux-headers-4.15.0-65 4.15.0-65.74
  linux-headers-4.15.0-65-generic 4.15.0-65.74
  linux-headers-generic   4.15.0.65.67
  linux-headers-virtual   4.15.0.65.67
  linux-image-4.15.0-65-generic   4.15.0-65.74
  linux-image-virtual     4.15.0.65.67
  linux-modules-4.15.0-65-generic 4.15.0-65.74
  linux-virtual   4.15.0.65.67

  We don't need the whole linux-modules-extra because the size is not
  small, but we need some VF drivers in cloud guest image embedded for
  SR-IOV enabled cloud including OpenStack. Otherwise, the guest is
  unusable with no network device.
