Description:
These missing patches are basically to improve Ubuntu kernel support for NVMe Surprise Removel/hot-plug of NVMe disks.
The patch list shared and formed above is from comparing the 4.18 HWE kernel that is already present in the -proposed apt repo.
We would like to have these included into the HWE kernel 4.18 of 18.04.2
