xenial/linux: 4.4.0-197.229 -proposed tracker

Leveraging results from 4.4.0-195, no regression were observed, results are available here:
https://trello.com/c/k7BgIIzA/1068-xenial-linux-image-440-195-generic-440-195227

The unverified report was fixed by re-spin #5 (being able to compile for 32bit ppc).

To my knowledge, there should be no blocking issues.

pc-kernel and pc-lowlatency-kernel are tested and ready. We are holding for caracalla-kernel, but a problem there would not block the kernel releasing. Therefore unblocking kernel and those snaps which are ready.
