Summary0001019: Please provide usbip kernel drivers for kernel-lt and kernel-ml
DescriptionI'd like to use the usbip drivers, but they are not packaged in elrepo's kernel-lt and kernel-ml RPM packages.

There does exist the kmod-usbip package in elrepo, but it has the kernel drivers for the original redhat/centos kernel, not for kernel 4.4 or 5.x:

[root@server ~]# rpm -ql kmod-usbip
/etc/depmod.d/kmod-usbip.conf
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64/extra
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64/extra/usbip
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64/extra/usbip/usbip-core.ko
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64/extra/usbip/usbip-host.ko
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64/extra/usbip/vhci-hcd.ko
...

Please provide the same drivers but for the kernel-ml and kernel-lt RPMs.
Untested, but I think those kernel options need to be enabled in
config-4.4.230-x86_64

CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m
CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USBIP_HOST=m
CONFIG_USBIP_DEBUG=n
TagsNo tags attached.

Having considered the current configuration files for the kernel-lt and kernel-ml package sets (el7), the following options will be enabled for the next build of kernel-lt --

CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m
CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USBIP_HOST=m

For kernel-ml, the following options will be enabled for the next build --

CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m
CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HC_PORTS=8
CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_NR_HCS=1
CONFIG_USBIP_HOST=m
CONFIG_USBIP_VUDC=m

With the recent release of the kernel-ml-5.7.9-1.el7.elrepo package set [1] this request is half fulfilled.

Now just waiting for the release of the linux-4.4.231 sources to be able to complete this request.
