Was the vfio_mdev module removed from the 5.15 kernel?

As the title asks, was the VFIO vfio_mdev kernel module removed from the 5.15 release?

Just did an update on a host that used it, and it appears to be missing from the new modules directory for the new kernel. If this was purposeful, what's the easiest way to get it back? Not familiar with vfio modules indepth, so not sure where I'd pull this from.

AFAIK, the module is now only 'mdev' not 'vfio_mdev'. not sure when that change was made though in the kernel

I have tested mdev with nvidia card with kerne 5.15 last week, following this tutorial:

works fine.
