[Bug 1728573] [NEW] request to pull in an upstream bug fix for systemd

[Razvan Cojocaru]

Public bug reported:

There's a bug in systemd's virtualization detection algorithm that
prevents the XenServer Tools from working: systemd-virt-detect reports
"vm-other" instead of Xen on AMD hosts, and if it doesn't report "xen",
then xe-daemon will refuse to start. Thus, installing Ubuntu as a guest
on XenServer on an AMD host will be less than ideal.

This has been patched upstream:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/530c1c3028c484c503725bbac769b9051af83da7

If this fix could be pulled into Ubuntu 16, it would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!
