In Ubuntu we use initramfs-tools to update the initramfs. In this
package there is a  'auto_add_modules' hook-function. So we can add the
modules here. Can you give me a specific list of which modules are
required?

Bug description:
  Please add/include the patches for PowerPC NX coprocessor 842 memory
  compression.  They're currently in Herbert Xu's upstream tree, and
  presumably he will send them up to Linus at the 4.2 merge window.

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git
