Not as far as I know. The userspace process is inserting modules.
Here is the userspace function which is most likely to be running:
https://github.com/libguestfs/supermin/blob/master/src/init.c#L292
Unfortunately because of lack of a full stack trace, I can't be sure
exactly what system call is failing, but I'll probably add more debug
to the userspace program later.
BTW this worked fine in 3.19. It's started failing in 3.20/4.0. It
also works fine on x86.
Rich.
