Dimitri,
Customers will get blocked during installation, which is really severe. HWE kernel might be too late for that, and besides that, 16.04.1 stream will need ita anyway somewhen within the supprted time frame.

Since this is a bug in common code and not in code parts that had been contributed by IBM, I do not see our kernel team reponsible for that.
It's up to Canonical to put this on risk and force customers to use the HWE kernel (in which it is hopefully fixed), or to contact the scsi_dh_alua maintainer and backport the required fixes.
