I tried to install the current xenial kernel
(http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/linux-
image-4.3.0-5-generic_4.3.0-5.16_arm64.deb). Package installation fails
due  to

  Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.120ubuntu6) ...
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.3.0-5-generic
  Unsupported platform.
  run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//flash-kernel exited with return code 1

but nevertheless I can boot with "reboot -f" (as a normal reboot hangs).
Now lxc fails on lxc-net:

Jan 07 10:03:15 lxd-armhf1w systemd[1]: Starting LXC network bridge setup...
Jan 07 10:03:16 lxd-armhf1w lxc-net[10651]: RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
Jan 07 10:03:16 lxd-armhf1w lxc-net[10651]: Failed to setup lxc-net.

particularly it fails on "ip link add dev lxcbr0 type bridge".

dmesg error for this:

[  199.168466] module x_tables: unsupported RELA relocation: 275
[  199.232020] module llc: unsupported RELA relocation: 275

which might be a regression in xenial's arm64 kernel or lxc needing to
be adjusted to it? Either way, this is a deal-breaker, so with the
xenial kernel I can't do much.

However, operations like "lxc list" work without the lxcbr0 bridge. They
still take several minutes, but I don't get the dmesg errors any more.

Title:
  kernel 4.2/wily on arm64 and multiple CPUs is unusably slow

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I created an 8 CPU arm64 instance on Canonical's Scalingstack (which I
  want to use for armhf autopkgtesting in LXD). I started with wily as
  that has lxd available (it's not yet available in trusty nor the PPA
  for arm64).

  However, pretty much any LXD task that I do (I haven't tried much
  else) on this machine takes unbearably long. A simple "lxc profile set
  default raw.lxc lxc.seccomp=" or "lxc list" takes several minutes.

  I see tons of

  [ 1121.166926] INFO: task fsnotify_mark:69 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

  in dmesg (the attached apport info has the complete dmesg).
