Dimitri,
Customers will get blocked during installation, which is really severe. HWE 
kernel might be too late for that, and besides that, 16.04.1 stream will need 
ita anyway somewhen within the supprted time frame.

Since this is a bug in common code and not in code parts that had been 
contributed by IBM, I do not see our kernel team reponsible for that.

It's up to Canonical to put this on risk and force customers to use the
HWE kernel (in which it is hopefully fixed), or to contact the
scsi_dh_alua maintainer and backport the required fixes.
