linux-hwe: 4.13.0-37.42~16.04.1 -proposed tracker

There is a deployment issue for node gonzo with i386 lowlatency kernel, it seems that it will stuck on rebooting with the lowlatency kernel (deployment task works with other nodes, just not this one, but the weird thing is that i386 generic works fine on this one)

I can't access the virtual console right now, I will put this into incomplete

4.13.0-37.42~16.04.1 - generic
Regression test CMPL.

Issue to note in amd64:

The ThunderX ARM64 node is affected by bug 1755073 as well.

bug 1755073 is not considered to be a blocker for the promotion of this package, so I'll set 'Regression Testing' as 'Fix Released'.

Hardware Certification have begun testing this -proposed kernel.

Hardware Certification have completed testing this -proposed kernel. No regressions were observed, results are available here: http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/xenial/4.13.0-37.42~16.04.1/xenial-4.13-proposed-published.html
