Public bug reported:

Description:

To support VM instances with >255 vCPUS, we need the patch set below
backported to the Azure 4.18 kernel. These patches include -

  - New Hyper-V IOMMU driver. This driver will be Hyper-V specific.
  - Minor update to the Hyper-V specific virtual PCI code. Need to expand the 
size of an array to allow for a larger number of vCPUs.

There are very large VM instance sizes coming to Azure in 2019, and
Ubuntu will require the following patches in order to function properly:
