  * Added Changes
    - update VCS-git to match the bionic branch
    - sdl2 is yet too unstable for the LTS Ubuntu release given the reports
      we still see upstream and in Debian - furthermore sdl2 isn't in main yet,
      so we revert related changes to stick with the proven for now:
      - 0fd25810 - do not build-depend on libx11-dev (libsdl2-dev already
                   depends on it)
      - 9594f820 - switch from sdl1.2 to sdl2 (#870025)
    - d/qemu-system-x86.README.Debian: document intention of nested being
      default is comfort, not full support
    - update Ubuntu machine types for qemu 2.11
    - qemu-guest-agent: freeze-hook fixes (LP: #1484990)
      - d/p/guest-agent-freeze-hook-skip-dpkg-artifacts.patch
      - d/qemu-guest-agent.install: provide /etc/qemu/fsfreeze-hook
      - d/qemu-guest-agent.dirs: provide /etc/qemu/fsfreeze-hook.d
    - Create and install pxe netboot images for KVM s390x (LP: #1732094)
      - d/rules enable install s390x-netboot.img
      - debian/patches/ubuntu/partial-SLOF-for-s390x-netboot-compilation.patch
    - d/control-in: enable RDMA support in qemu (LP: #1692476)
    - on s390x provide facility bits 81 (ppa15) and 82 (bpb) (LP: #1743560)
      - d/p/ubuntu/linux-headers-update-to-4.15-rc1.patch
      - d/p/ubuntu/linux-headers-update-4.15-rc9.patch
      - d/p/ubuntu/lp1743560-s390x-kvm-Handle-bpb-feature.patch
      - d/p/ubuntu/lp1743560-s390x-kvm-provide-stfle.81.patch
    - tolerate ipxe size change on migrations to >=18.04 (LP: #1713490)
      - d/p/ubuntu/pre-bionic-256k-ipxe-efi-roms.patch: old machine types
        reference 256k path
      - d/control: depend on ipxe-qemu-256k-compat-efi-roms to be able to
        handle incoming migrations from former releases.
    - d/control-in: enable seccomp on s390x
  * Dropped changes (no more needed):
    - Dropped VHOST_NET_ENABLED and KVM_HUGEPAGES from /etc/default/qemu-kvm
      The functionality is retained for upgraders, but is deprecated.
      Post 18.04 the implementation for these configurations will be removed.
  * Dropped changes (in Debian now):
    - ppc64[le] support
      - Enable seccomp for ppc64el
      - bump libseccomp-dev dependency, 2.3 is the minimum for ppc64
    - disable missing x32 architecture
    - d/rules: or32 is now named or1k (since 4a09d0bb)
    - d/qemu-system-common.docs: new paths since (ac06724a)
    - d/qemu-system-common.install: qmp-commands.txt removed, but replaced
      by qapi-schema.json which is already packaged (since 4d8bb958)
    - d/p/02_kfreebsd.patch: utimensat is no more optional upstream (Update
      to Debian patch to match qemu 2.10)
    - d/qemu-system-common.docs: adapt new path of live-block-operations.rst
      since 8508eee7
    - d/qemu-system-common.docs: adapt q35 config paths since 9ca019c1
    - make nios2/hppa not installed explicitly until further stablized
    - d/qemu-guest-agent.install: add the new guest agent reference man page
      qemu-ga-ref
    - d/qemu-system-common.install: add the now generated qapi/qmp reference
      along the qapi intro
    - d/not-installed: ignore further generated (since 56e8bdd4) files in
      dh_missing that are already provided in other formats qemu-doc,
      qemu-qmp-ref,qemu-ga-ref
  * Dropped changes (integrated upstream):
    - d/p/detect-ITS-and-skip-usage-on-older-kernel.patch to avoid crashes
      on arm64 when doing suspend/resume and reboots due to older kernels not
      supporting ITS (LP 1731051).
    - Apply linux-user-return-EINVAL-from-prctl-PR_-_SECCOMP.patch from
      James Cowgill to prevent qemu-user from forwarding prctl seccomp
      calls (LP 1726394)
    - update to upstream 2.10.1 point release (LP 1722808)

Title:
  Create pxe netboot images for KVM s390x

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Triaged
Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  With 17.10 it's now possible (with some extra steps) to use PXE netboot with KVM on s390x.
  To make the most out of it we should have official s390x KVM (PXE) netboot images, at least starting with bionic, but better already for artful (to get things stabilized for bionic).

  As folder and location I suggest to follow the same approach like we ave for other architectures:
  http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/artful/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/
  http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/artful/main/installer-s390x/current/images/netboot/

  Having a netboot image would be a step towards further usage (like
  MAAS ...).
