Public bug reported:

uio_pci_generic is not enabled in linux kernel package for ppc64el while
other architectures have it enabled.

Looking into git tree :

~/sources/pub/ubuntu.com/ubuntu-14.04-trusty$ git grep UIO_PCI_GENERIC debian.master/
debian.master/config/amd64/config.common.amd64:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m
debian.master/config/arm64/config.common.arm64:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m
debian.master/config/armhf/config.common.armhf:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m
debian.master/config/i386/config.common.i386:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m
debian.master/config/powerpc/config.common.powerpc:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m
debian.master/config/ppc64el/config.common.ppc64el:# CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC is not set

I can't find a reason why it would be disabled only for ppc64el and I
can see that utopic enables it for all architectures (common
configuration).

Can we have it enabled ?
This module is used by dpdk (for example).


Thanks.
