I built the next test kernel, up to the following commit: fc8704280f2ada9f61f08a2d5adc0dab169cc207
The test kernel can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1777338 Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not? I will build the next test kernel based on your test results.

I get an "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" message during the boot process, and, a bit after that, a message from the kernel watchdog about CPU #0 being stuck. Then the boot process stops completely. I was able to boot the system by telling Grub to load 4.15.0-22, which works perfectly fine, so there has been a regression. I am running Ubuntu as a Xen dom0, if that matters. I haven't tried booting the offending kernel version without Xen. I'm not sure where, if anywhere, these messages go on disk, for posting.
