Draft: Add md-modules to arm64 cdrom builds

Emanuele Rocca requested to merge ema/debian-installer:pmem-u-boot into master

U-Boot is adding support for HTTP(s) boot. The installation media is made available as a /dev/pmem device: in order for the installer to be able to mount it, we need to have pmem modules in the installer initrd.

This is one of the MRs needed to support U-Boot HTTP(s) boot, the other two being:

  • [arm64] Add {of,nd}_pmem to arm64 md-modules udeb kernel-team/linux!1167

  • Add /dev/pmem devices to list-devices-linux in debian-installer-utils (TBD)
