Bug Description

This is a spin off from bug 1753938.

TL;DR:
- there was a 3rd party upload on 1st of March with two features
- one might have been ok (one day late but ok otherwise)
- but the other was breaking FFE and maintainability
- I reverted and discussed this in bug 1753938
- We agreed to try taking the small and maintainable change for Bionic

Details on the Change:
- it is available a while at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/878667/
- It is in the subtree maintainers tree a while now
  Samuel Thibault <email address hidden> took it into the subtree
- will (most likely) be in qemu 2.13 due to the subtree pull then
- It was in Bionic from 5th to 22nd March already and there were no complains/reports on it

By breaking out the 2nd change (that was more complex and had potential maintenance issues in qmp format) this would be a great candidate to make Bionic better.

As mentioned it was already tested and in Bionic for a while, so the change really should be good.
Also in terms of "potential regression risk" it is limited to slirp which is less commonly used in "enterprisy" environments, but a useful feature in general still.

I'm readding the change and would be ready to puload together with a bunch of others that are queued up.
But while it is small, but it is a feature, so I'd need an FFE ack for this to process it further.

This is like the forth time or so these changes are part of the regression testing, but one can never be sure - running soon (again)

Therefore build started in ppa for next qemu: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3225

Seeing that the change is mostly confined to slirp and relatively low-profile, I suppose we can get that in still. FFe approved.

  * Remove LP: 1752026 changes to d/p/ubuntu/define-ubuntu-machine-types.patch.
    The Kernel fixes are preferred and already committed to the kernel.
    Therefore remove the default disabling of the HTM feature (LP: #1761175)

    SSE/AVX/AVX512 cpu features (LP: #1739665)
  * d/p/ubuntu/lp1740219-continuous-space-commpage.patch: make Arm

  * d/p/ubuntu/lp-1761372-*: provide pseries-bionic-2.11-sxxm type as
    convenience with all meltdown/spectre workarounds enabled by default.
    This is not the default type following upstream and x86 on that.
    (LP: #1761372).
  * d/p/ubuntu/lp-1704312-1-* provide means to manually handle filesystem-dax
    with pmem by backporting align and unarmed options (LP: #1704312).
