Comment 4 for bug 1661629

Thank you for taking the time to file this patch and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Does this apply and work correctly on the current Ubuntu development release (Cosmic) please? We land changes there first and only once successful consider backporting to existing releases as appropriate.

> With this change I was able to build a image using "MODULES=dep" and successfully create a crash dump with zfs on root.

What sort of block device was backing your filesystem in your test case please? I'm not particularly familiar with this part of initramfs-tools, but it seems to me that essentials like the loading of the virtio_pci module would be short-circuited by your patch. Do you have an opinion on this?
