RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
In working through a recent UIO BZ in 8.4/8.5, we needed to update ownership of UIO modules for RHEL8.  Part of this was identifying which UIO kmods are actively needed.

We know that we need 

CONFIG_UIO #Dependency for below configs

CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC # (Used by DPDK over UIO)
                       # This one is to support PCI bus but not
                       # recommended. Drop-in replacement is vfio with
                       # enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode=1

CONFIG_UIO_HV_GENERIC #This one is to support Hyper-V vmbus

We could not identify users of the other CONFIG_UIO options; we should disable those in RHEL9.  (They can be re-enabled on demand as needed later.)

(Initially discovered during work on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1946644)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
