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.

In 4.4.y register_fadump() returns void because 98b8cd7f7564 ("powerpc/fadump: Return error when fadump registration fails") hasn't been backported for this stable release. == Fix == 98b8cd7f7564 ("powerpc/fadump: Return error when fadump registration fails") == Regression Potential == Low. The patch only handles the error return by some function and adds an additional error message. Limited to powerpc. == Test Case == Compile the kernel for powerpc (tested with ppc64el).
