  SRU Justification
  
  [Impact]
  
  Commit 56f727d2cc7a ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) hv: Supply vendor ID and
  package ABI") introduced a regression that breaks the VM Availability
  Metric functionality on Azure due to a malformed HV_LINUX_VENDOR_ID
  being reported to Hyper-V. This impacts customers that rely on that
  metric to assess if their VMs are in a healthy state or not.
  
  [Fix]
  
  The HV_LINUX_VENDOR_ID should be 0x8180 rather than 0x80; this issue can
  be fixed by adjusting the value of the constant in all generic kernels
  affected by this.
  
  [Test Plan]
  
  Compile and boot tested; verified that the metric works on an Azure VM
  running a kernel with the fix. Microsoft is to perform validation on
  their side as well.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Low regression potential, but could impact the identification of Ubuntu
  guests on Azure.
