[Xen-devel] [PATCH] [XM-TEST] Add modules for modularized kernels

["Lynn Bendixsen" <lbendixs@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

The ramdisk built by xm-test does not work on modularized kernels (e.g. SUSE 
kernels).  
The attached patch remedies that by adding the required modules to the ramdisk. 
 For this patch to work it must be built on a machine booted to the same kernel 
as the target machine.

Add needed modules to the ramdisk if the modules exist on the current system. 
(i.e. the current system contains a modularized kernel)
