** Description changed: CONFIG_FPGA needs to be enabled in linux-aws amd64 kernels (thereby supplying the fpga-mgr module), to support the AWS F1 instance type. Delivering the fpga-mgr module via the 'linux-modules-extras' package is acceptable. This config change only needs to be specifically applied to linux- aws/focal, since: linux-aws/bionic (aws-5.4) will pick it up from focal; linux-aws-groovy already has it enabled; linux-aws-xenial cannot support F1 anyway. + + ---------------------- + + [Impact] + + * Since fpga-mgr is inadvertently omitted from linux-aws, use of the F1 + instance type requires the user to manually install linux-virtual or + linux-generic, which is an annoyance. + + * This patch just enables the module in linux-aws as we do for other + kernels. + + * Fwiw, fpga-mgr is actually (needlessly) already enabled for linux- + aws/arm64 but disabled for linux-aws/amd64 (where its needed for F1). + + [Test Case] + + * Install the linux-modules-extras package; modprobe fpga-mgr. + + [Regression Potential] + + * None.
