The following upstream patches are needed for Ubuntu to fix a hang situation
reported when executing ppc64_cpu --smt=on that occurs with various disk types.
We need whichever ones have not yet been pulled into the base.

The hang problem can be reproduced with the following shell script
using an NVMe device executed on kernel versions 4.4.0-45 and 4.4.0-59
within 30 minutes. It was also reproduced on a 4.8.0-32-generic
kernel, although it took over 3 hours to manifest.

elif [[ ${1} == "breaker" ]]; then
while true; do
ppc64_cpu --smt=off
sleep 5
ppc64_cpu --smt=on
sleep 5
