Subject: [PATCH] KVM: s390: Add "devname:kvm" alias.
Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 18:42:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369672953-33705-2-git-send-email-cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1369672953-33705-1-git-send-email-cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
Providing a "devname:kvm" module alias enables automatic loading of
the kvm module when /dev/kvm is opened.
