I built using the mainline config-4.15.0-041500rc2-generic file and accepted default options. I also had to apply ff6fa2d396b0476988c749664f600b1e177bcf9b in order to get the neighboring commits to build.

it does appear to stop the flicker, but also seems to cause the boot failure.

    UBUNTU: SAUCE: vt -- maintain bootloader screen mode and content until vt switch

    Introduce a new VT mode KD_TRANSPARENT which endevours to leave the current
    content of the framebuffer untouched. This allows the bootloader to insert
    a graphical splash and have the kernel maintain it until the OS splash
    can take over. When we finally switch away (either through programs like
    plymouth or manually) the content is lost and the VT reverts to text mode.
