Title:
  SRU: backport fwupd 0.7.3 to xenial

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in fwupd source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [background]

  fwupd 0.7.3 adds support for flashing capsule updates not placed in
  the ESRT.  It uses libsmbios to query the flashability of these
  packages.

  It also resolves the fwupd half of https://launchpad.net/bugs/1589585
  which will fix unplugging a USB device causing gnome-software to check
  for software updates.

  
  Currently this bug will be blocked by a variety of other bugs:
  1) MIR of libsmbios 
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsmbios/+bug/1603072
  If/when that MIR is resolved it will need to be made effective in xenial and development release both.  If any changes are required for libsmbios, they'll need to be backported to xenial too.

  2) FFe for EFI tools transition in yakkety:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupdate/+bug/1620698
  The rest of the tools don't need to be backported to xenial, only fwupd.  In development release upgrading the other tools REQUIRES upgrading fwupd though.
