This is a general questions of Linux. Proper way is (1) Install the kernel
modules; (2) Create /etc/modules-load.d/<name>.conf so KO will automatically
being loaded
More practical way, or for development:
(1) If you have a systemd managed VPP service, you can add these commands in
the systemd service file as ExecPre task;
(2) Just put this two line in /etc/rc.local.
Normally for long term, you may want to deal with kernel update case for this
particular KO.
Thanks very much!
