Bug Description

rdma_ucm is in the 4.11 kernel, but has to be modprobed up to be used. It should autoload on HPC images.

Josh,

Is there any requirement when loading the module? "rdma_ucm" is a dynamic misc device, so I see 4 alternatives:

1. Always loading it during boot via a configuration file in "/etc/modules-load.d".

2. Adding it as a soft dependency for the Hyper-V RDMA drivers via a configuration file in "/etc/modprobe.d/".

3. Having WaLinuxAgent to load it.

4. Compile it as a built-in module.

Option #2 makes the most sense.
