It appears these workaround patches introduced NVMe initialization problems on some non-Xen systems, see bug 1626894. I sent patches to revert this for xenial and yakkety. Instead, this problem should be fixed by a patch to Xen kernel code, in bug 1656831.

If one of the NVMe drives contains the root filesystem, the instance won't boot. [Test Case] Boot an AWS instance with a NVMe drive. It will fail to initialize the NVMe drive(s), and errors will appear in the system log (if the system boots at all). With a patched kernel, all NVMe drives are initialized and enumerated and work properly. [Regression Potential] Patching the NVMe driver may cause problems on other systems using NVMe drives.
