Bug#958300: linux: enable infiniband kconfig in cloud images for Azure/HyperV



Source: linux
Version: 4.19.98-1
Tags: patch

Dear Kernel Team,

Azure VMs can get accelerated networking for DPDK applications via the
NETVSC driver (https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/netvsc.html), but this
requires enabling the Infiniband kernel modules.

In order to list Debian cloud images as "officially" certified for this
use case, these modules need to be enabled. Other distros like Ubuntu
already enabled these configs for their Azure cloud images.

I've opened an MR for the master branch, and if accepted I'd like to
cherry-pick for Buster as well:

Thanks!
