Hi pragyansri,
If you track the progress on the merge proposal that is linked this looks good atm and will soon be in a PPA [2] with proposed changes for pre-evaluation with Bionic/Cosmic/Disco/Eoan.

From there the next steps are:
- test the new feature from the PPA on cascade lake machines
- general regression tests
- Once we know it works (Tests on newer kernels) will need to also involve the kernel Team to also backport the kernel patches
- if the above look good as well it will become an SRU [1]
- The SRU processing will have it reviewed by the SRU Team, then land in proposed to be final verified and then be released to be available

Sorry if that seems slow to you, but the changes are complex and we don't want to rush things - if you read the SRU [1] policy you'll see that the steady tradeoff of stability-vs-fixes is important to be done with the focus of avoiding regressions.
