So I can confirm that above patch cherry picked into 4.6 allows to boot
and configure multipath devices again (as long as there is not that
UNIX=m thing in which case there won't be any disks to multipath on).

Title:
  linux: 4.6 kernel fails to boot on ppc64el multi-path system

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:

  Provisioned modoc (ppc64el) with stock Xenial, then installed the
  above kernel. It eventually times out attempting to mount rootfs and
  drops to the busybox prompt.
