This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed- xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

That's already supported in the linux-azure kernel with the userspace logic implemented in the Windows Azure Linux Agent. The Xenial kernel is carrying a single version of the RDMA which might cause problems if the host OS requires a different version of the driver. Fix: remove the driver located at "drivers/infiniband/hw/vmbus-rdma/" from the Xenial kernel and keep support to it only in linux-azure. Testcase: the module "hv_network_direct.ko" should not be included in the linux-image or linux-image-extra packages.
