I'm working on below patch to resolve this. But I met a weird issue in
case when building i915 as module and also kvmgt module, it caused
busy wait on request_module("kvmgt") when boot, it doesn't happen if
building i915 into kernel. I'm not sure what could be the reason?

Sorry I misread the code that as we always request kvmgt module when
gvt init, so it should still apply original method that this isn't a
problem. Our current validation result has shown no regression as well.
