Comment 10 for bug 1783152

This is the patch for trusty debian-installer to pick up this new xenial hwe kernel.

It's been tested by the customer with the SF 8000 series NICs on amd64 bare metal (back when using test packages from their private PPA), so the netboot install works on that NIC model.

I built it on PPA for the supported architectures on trusty (amd64/i386, arm64/armhf, ppc64el/powerpc) [1], and used the built netboot images for testing.

I tested for no regressions / without that NIC adapter, in the following platforms, plain and LVM partitioning, per discussion with folks from our server iso automated testing and server/arm teams.

- amd64 bare-metal & kvm guest
- arm64 qemu guest (see [2])
- ppc64el qemu guest (see [3])

On testing, the installer boots with the new kernel, installs it to the system, and the installed system boots correctly with it.
