The fix on linux-image-4.13.0-21-generic will just prevent this from happening on fresh installs. It will not repair systems that had already been affected. BIOS recovery needs to be done some other way.

As we want to prevent other users from hitting this, a new artful image will be generated with this new kernel after it has been verified that it does not cause the problem anymore.

Unfortunately, it's not feasible to have a kernel that will boot and repair an affected BIOS. Please, contact your vendor about that.
