Note: s390x zKVM was not tested in this cycle, as the DNS server (jiufeng) is down.

Hardware Certification have completed testing this -proposed kernel. No regressions were observed, results are available here: http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/artful/4.13.0-38.43/artful-proposed-published.html

The lttng module build issue (bug 1756240) has been solved.
So the only concern is the zram smoke test for ThunderX (bug 1758036)

Regarding the 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'.

Manually overriding verification-testing state. I reviewed all outstanding bugs to be either vendor requests for specific arches, or low-risk changes.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 4.13.0-38.43
