Public bug reported:

Please add upstream commit

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ddee09c099c35074e50aaf9157efd22429d3acdf

To add support for that new processor variant. The cores are identical to POWER8 so there is no difference
to the kernel to get things booted and installed. It adds the "nvlink" function for which separate patches
will be submitted later, but at least with the above commit, the machines will be able to boot.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
