It's not a simple as allowing xgene-uboot for HWE kernels in the MAAS
code. If we'd do that, you'd end up with basically a generic
subarchitecture.
We'd need to change the streams. Currently we overload subarchitecture a
bit, so most likely we'd need to add new entries for xgene-uboot+hwe.
But that also probably wouldn't be enough, we'd also have to change the
MAAS code to cope with the new arhitecture/hwe combination.
So to sum it up, this is not a bug, since it was designed to work this
way. If we want to add this, we'd need to get it on the roadmap and
prioritized, since it's a significant amount of work.

Title:
Unable to deploy HWE kernel with sub-arch set to xgene-uboot
Status in MAAS:
Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
When trying to deploy Moonshot nodes, the sub-arch must be set to
xgene-uboot for it to be deployed with GA kernel.
However, when trying to deploy it with the HWE kernel it will complain that:
Subarchitecture(xgene-uboot) must be generic when setting hwe_kernel.
[ deleted the bit about how generic/hwe fails, because that is
expected. this machine requires xgene-uboot/hwe ]
