This still has the verification-needed-xenial tag. Will this be backported or 
can we remove that tag? xenial-proposed does not seem to contain a kernel 
update and a backport to xenial was not requested. (It would be possible 
though).

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:
  ==================

  [Impact]

  * New hardware is not supported by qemu and won't run run, due to
  missing hardware CPU model

  [Fix]

  * 11ba5961a2156a4f210627ed8421387e2531b100 11ba596 "KVM: s390: add
  debug logging for cpu model subfunctions"

  * 346fa2f891c71a9b98014f8f62c15f4c7dd95ec1 346fa2f "KVM: s390:
  implement subfunction processor calls"

  * 7832e91cd33f21f3cf82b003478c292915a1ec14 7832e91 "KVM: s390: add
  vector enhancements facility 2 to cpumodel"

  * d5cb6ab1e3d4d7e0648a167f6290e89f6e86964e d5cb6ab "KVM: s390: add
  vector BCD enhancements facility to cpumodel"

  * 13209ad0395c4de7fa48108b1dac72e341d5c089 13209ad "KVM: s390: add
  MSA9 to cpumodel"

  * d668139718a9e2260702777bd8d86d71c30b6539 d668139 "KVM: s390: provide
  query function for instructions returning 32 byte"

  * 173aec2d5a9fa5f40e462661a8283fcafe04764f 173aec2 "KVM: s390: add
  enhanced sort facilty to cpu model"

  * 4f45b90e1c03466202fca7f62eaf32243f220830 4f45b90 "KVM: s390: add
  deflate conversion facilty to cpu model"

  * 8ec2fa52eac53bff7ef1cedbc4ad8af650ec937c 8ec2fa5 "KVM: s390: enable
  MSA9 keywrapping functions depending on cpu model"

  [Test Case]

  * need to be tested by IBM on pre-rel. hardware or simulator

  [Regression Potential]

  * The regression potential can be considered as low since these
  changes are limited to arch/s390

  * changes are in support for new and upcoming hardware and shouldn't
  affect existing s390x systems

  [Other Info]

  * the first 2 commits are the key ones, the other 7 are needed to make
  them applly cleanly

  * these patches are already all included in upstream kernel 5.2, hence
  they are in eoan's kernel 5.2

  * qemu package SRU in LP 1836154 complements this SRU - for testing
  both need to be in place

  * I could apply the commit IDs cleanly with 'cherry-picks 
--strategy=recursive -X theirs' and checked that no patches on top were pulled 
in
