Bug Description

Ubuntu kernels by default ship modprobe.d that excludes many modules from loading:

# Kernel supplied blacklist for linux 5.4.0-89-generic amd64
# modprobe.d/common.conf
# LP:1434842 -- disable OSS drivers by default to allow pulseaudio to emulate
blacklist snd-mixer-oss
blacklist snd-pcm-oss
# Autogenerated watchdog blacklist

However kernel snaps do not provide modprobe.d nor they are used by default. Is pc-kernel supposed to skip shipping those? Should there be modprobe.d in the core20 snap that prevents these known modules from loading by default?

Also I'm not too sure about the watchdog modules exclusion, given that systemd can operate watchdogs by default, hence it shouldn't be too dangerous to autoenable them?

Hi Dimitri, is that still a thing? should we involve the core team on that as well?
