It's an alternate for the regular Xenial driver that only manages NICs that are not supported by the regular Xenial driver. Since the backported driver lives in the special location kernel/ubuntu/bnxt it's not automatically included in the initramfs. But it's boot-critical so it needs to be added to the initramfs. [Test Case] Install the Xenial kernel on hardware that contains a newer Broadcom NIC and boots over that NIC. The machine will not come up because the NIC is not recognized. [Regression Risk] The driver is only loaded for newer Broadcom NICs. Older NICs are still managed by the regular Xenial driver, so there should be no regression.
