Bug Description

As is the case for bionic, linux-kvm requires UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER vs UNWINDER_ORC:

commit 028eb9123f783b3a38936b1a02a235c4680f873d
Author: Seth Forshee <email address hidden>
Date: Sat Dec 9 22:08:25 2017 -0600

    UBUNTU: [Config] CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER=y for amd64

    During the rebase to 4.15 UNWINDER_ORC was chosen as the stack
    unwinder as it promises a 5-10% performance improvement over
    using UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER. However it turns out to have a
    couple of downsides. It adds a new requierment for building dkms
    modules, and it does not produce the reliable stack traces
    required for livepatch. Switch back to UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER.
