After conferring with the IBM Novalink dev team, we found a way to exploit some undocumented preliminary artful support in the DKMS, to successfully install the hwe-16.04 kernel (4.13.0-38) from xenial- proposed. It boots and passes traffic. I hope to report back later today or possibly tomorrow

These Linux LPARs are running Novalink, in a mode that allows them to serve in place of the traditional PowerVM AIX VIO server. So they're providing virtual I/O for other LPARs (this is how we ended up sending 64k packets into the bnx2x nics via open vswitch). The DKMS modules enable that

We're not set up to test the artful kernel, but I can envision a near- to-mid-term future where we will need this patch to be present in the artful kernel. What's the best way for me to help make sure that future obtains? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

I was able to install the ppc64el 4.4.0-117 kernel from xenial-proposed. It boots and passes at least enough traffic to make an interactive ssh session function. I'm having some DKMS issues, however, which are preventing me from validating the patch prevents crash as expected (one of the modules

Ok, that works. I should be able to provide basic validation much more easily. We are having trouble reproducing the crash with the unpatched kernel, as we've put many remediating workarounds in place and it's been an adventure to remember where they all are and how exactly they all interacted
