I went ahead and applied a change to our 5.3 tree to make nvram built-in
for ppc64el. If it would be preferable to keep it a module and add it to
the installer, let me know and I can change it.

Title:
Installation fails on eoan/PowerVM : missing /dev/nvram
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Hi,
since eoan and kernel 5.2, the installation fails when installing grub at the
end.
Actually /dev/nvram does not exist.
nvram support was previously built in the kernel and is now built as a module,
and the module is not shipped within the iso or in udebs.
This is probably due to commit d7d73492dc5f2 in Ubuntu's linux git tree :
