> Should / could kvm modules be automatically loaded on ppc64?
Yes, mainly if it is running in opal mode. Something as:

  grep OPAL  /proc/cpuinfo >/dev/null 2>&1 && opal=1

  modprobe -b kvm >/dev/null 2>&1
  modprobe -b kvm-pr >/dev/null 2>&1 && kvm=1
  if [ "$opal" ]; then
            modprobe -b kvm-hv >/dev/null 2>&1
  fi

Title:
  must manually load kvm_hv or kvm_pr before using kvm on ppc64

Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  on x86_64, kvm modules load automatically.
  on ppc64, they do not.

  The user has to manually load them via /etc/modules or something like:

    grep -q kvm_ /proc/modules || modprobe kvm_hv || modprobe kvm_pr

  
  Should / could kvm modules be automatically loaded on ppc64?
