  new linux-hwe-5.8:
  
+ /var/lib/dkms/dm-writeboost/2.2.9/build/dm-writeboost-daemon.c:62:13: error:

  [Test case]
  
- $ sudo apt install
+ $ sudo apt install dm-writeboost-dkms
+ 
+ Build error in reported in the build log.
+ 
+ [Fix]
+ 
+ Fix by applying 2 patches from the groovy dkms module to properly
+ support a 5.8 kernel.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ 
+ The source code for the 5.4 kernel remains the same, so there is no
+ regression potential. The new changes are all conditionals and they are
+ all applied to the 5.8 kernel.
