Bug description:
SRU Justification Kernel:
=========================
[Impact]
* Add / activate support for IBM z15 and LinuxONE III systems
[Fix]
* a0e2251132995b962281aa80ab54a9288f9e0b6b a0e2251 "s390: add support
for IBM z15 machines"
[Test Case]
* check and verify cpuinfo - regression testing is possible by
Canonical/me
* functional testing is currently only doable by IBM
[Regression Potential]
* There is regression potential with having new code in and the flags
added/active
* but the code changes are pretty straight forward, just add config,
cases and defs
* and are not used on existing systems, just on the new generation
that is not yet out in the field
[Other Info]
* SRU of LP 1842916 merged with (this) LP 1842774

SRU Template for qemu as the impact/scope is different
======================================================
[Impact]
* Update naming of the new HW Generation
* Now that the systems are released people might look for types matching
the name and no one really knows "IBM 8561 GA1".
* Help users to identify the cpu type by backporting the fix that sets the
defined name.
[Fix]
* https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=7505deca
[Test Case]
* qemu-system-s390x -cpu ? | grep gen15
s390 gen15a-base IBM 8561 GA1 (static,
migration-safe)
s390 gen15a IBM 8561 GA1 (migration-safe)
s390 gen15b-base IBM 8562 GA1 (static,
migration-safe)
s390 gen15b IBM 8562 GA1 (migration-safe)
* With the fix gen15a should be called "IBM z15 GA1"
[Regression Potential]
* The only thing changing (for qemu) are some texts e.g. when showing CPU
types. The cpu type itself that is used in e.g. scripts / commands will
not change. Therefore the regression risk of the qemu change is next to
none. The only I can think of is people grepping for the old ID in text
output, but that seems theoretical and not important.
[Other Info]
* For an SRU perspective this is "nice to have" we will only do this
"along" other higher impact SRUs.

This feature request will provide the final naming of the next machine
