I'm pushing devlink support to systemd, have the systemd-devlinkd
testsuite based on netdevsim module. That is howevee not currently
distributed over Linux kernel packages.

The systemd maintainers expressed desire to be able to run the
systemd-devlinkd tests as part of CI which include tests on Debian
systems.

Would it be possible for you to add the module please? It should be
as easy as just adding "CONFIG_NETDEVSIM=m" config option.

Thanks!

As we are currently talking about a special debug kernel, I would see
NETDEVSIM as on topic for that, given that this needs DEBUG_FS.
