Bug Description
There are some new hardware are not supported by GA and HWE kernel, eg Intel Tigerlake. The machine will not boot up correctly and stuck for the commission, which blocking people who like to deploy an image on the latest hardware.
The OEM kernels are implemented and tested for Client products, which support the latest silicon and hardware design. The linux-oem-20.04 are officially supported kernel by Canonical kernel/hwe team.
Please add the linux-oem-20.04 kernel into the minimum kernel list. Thanks

MAAS has a very strict understanding of kernels. This is done to allow users to set a minimum kernel version on a machine and have MAAS automatically select the correct kernel version or prevent a user from selecting an older kernel version. Because of this we'll need to add the kernels to the stream in lp:maas-images as well as teach lp:maas how to handle these new kernels.
We need to understand the following: 04-lowlatency, hwe-18.04-edge, or hwe-18. 04-lowlatency- edge. Should oem or oem-osp1 kernels be considered newer or older?
1. What is the short hand name for these kernels? Currently we have ga-18.04 and hwe-18.04, what should these be called?
2. Will these kernels have flavors? Currently we have -lowlatency, -edge, and -lowlatency-edge
3. How should MAAS determine which is the latest kernel? For example users today can configure a machine to have a minimum kernel version of hwe-18.04. When deploying Bionic that means they can only choose between hwe-18.
4. Which versions of MAAS need to support these kernels?
It may be easier to discuss this at our upcoming sprint.
