Regarding the ThunderX zram smoke test, according to bug 1755073 that bug is also on upstream and a SAUCE patch with a interim fix has been sent to the mailing which is going to be committed to the next SRU cycle. Based on that, I'm marking regression-testing as 'Fix Released'.

Manual overriding as I did not see any backport specific changes, the Artful kernel looked good and I did not hear about issues.

This bug was fixed in the package linux-hwe - 4.13.0-38.43~16.04.1
