[Bug 1866035] [NEW] [FFe] List and install OEM enablement packages

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

[ Description ]

We have a project underway at the minute to install any hardware-
specific tweaks that are needed for the currently running machine, and
to select a different kernel on those machines: the OEM kernel. This
requires changes in grub, ubiquity and ubuntu-drivers common. We'd like
to land those changes.

grub
====

On a live session, construct a DMI modalias and match it against the
packages on the CD to see if we need to boot the OEM kernel.

ubuntu-drivers-common
=====================

List the oem-*meta packages which apply to the running machine, and
install those with 'install'.

ubiquity
========

Use the information that ubuntu-drivers provides to show some UI if
there is a matching package, and also install the package if the user
selects it.

[ Testing ]

We have a package "oem-qemu-meta" in Focal which you can use to test
this inn a VM. If you're using libvirt, edit the XML for a Focal VM and
add

In the <os> section: <smbios mode='sysinfo'/>

Under <domain>:

  <sysinfo type='smbios'>
    <system>
      <entry name='product'>UBUNTUQEMUTEST</entry>
    </system>
  </sysinfo>
