Comment 6 for bug 1724120

An Artful SRU request for these commits was already submitted in bug 1706247. I'm working on backporting them to Xenial(4.4 based), but have had some issues with build failures. There are some prereq commits that are also needed for 4.4 kernels. I'll see what the extent of these prereqs are and post an update.

If there are too many prereqs for Xenial, we may have to have this issues address in Xenial via the HWE kernels, but I'm investigating.
