Title:
  Add support for POWER8 NVL processor for ppc64el

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
