Dear Maintainer,

lvcreate fails with --type vdo option.

 root@debian:~# lvcreate --type vdo -n vdo0 -L 15G -V 15G VG/vdopool-debian
 modprobe: FATAL: Module kvdo not found in directory /lib/modules/6.10.6-amd64
   /sbin/modprobe failed: 1
   vdo: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel.
   Run `lvcreate --help' for more information.

Loading the dm-vdo module solved the bug.

 root@debian:~# modprobe dm-vdo
