Patch "crypto: vmx - disable preemption to enable vsx in aes_ctr.c" failed to apply due to some conflicting backports for bug #1613295 "AES- XTS poor performance in Ubuntu 16.04". Manually applied.
Patch "net: dsa: select NET_SWITCHDEV" introduces the need to explicitly set CONFIG_NET_DSA(=n). ** Description changed: + SRU Justification - SRU Justification + Impact: + The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar + in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to + demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream + by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or + a minimally backported form of that patch.
