** Description changed:

+ == SRU Justification ==
+ The brd module (Rados block device) is essential for Ceph. But it's
+ not available in any of our KVM kernels for the moment.
+ 
+ == Fix ==
+ Change CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RBD from not set to "m" to solve this issue.
+ 
+ == Test ==
+ Test kernel for G-kvm could be found here:
+ https://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1902434-rbd/
+ 
+ The rbd module can be loaded without any issue with this kernel:
+ $ sudo modprobe rbd
+ $ echo $?
+ 0
+ 
+ [   42.853540] Key type ceph registered
+ [   42.853663] libceph: loaded (mon/osd proto 15/24)
+ [   42.857811] rbd: loaded (major 252)
+ 
+ == Regression Potential ==
+ Low, this just make the rbd module available in our KVM kernels.
+ We might be receiving some rbd related issues in the future.
+ 
+ 
+ == Original Bug Report ==
  The rbd module is missing from the linux-modules-*-kvm package
  
  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ modprobe rbd
  modprobe: FATAL: Module rbd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.8.0-1008-kvm

- I don't believe I can get this module from any of the other extra packages 
ie: linux-image-extra-virtual as it is the wrong kernel version and there is 
currently no extra's package for kvm.

  As a work around I am using the generic image but it would be great to
  get this added to the kvm optimized image as well!
