Bug Description
Right now trusty guests will only *just work* if you happen to be hosting them on a GICv2 system running xenial as a host. We can grow that to included GICv3 systems by switching the trusty cloud images over to using the hwe-x kernel.

This change would not impact older GICv2-based systems, they will continue to boot with the newer kernel and remain supported. So this move only would improve hardware support by allowing these Trusty cloud images to boot as guest OSes on GICv3 hardware.
