[Bug 2095536] [NEW] [MIR] ubuntu-x1e-settings

[Tobias Heider]

Public bug reported:

[Availability]
Currently in universe

[Rationale]
Very much like we did with the Lenovo Thinkpad X13s for 24.10 [1] I would
like to add support for some of the new Snapdragon X Elite laptops in
our coming release. Because arm64 is a bit special we need to ship a
settings package containing tweaks and configs that make the installer
"just work".

This is based on the work I did for our Snapdragon Ubuntu concept image
[2].

[Security]
I don't expect any security impact. The package is mostly config files
and should only affect this specific hardware.

[Quality assurance]
For now we will have to test manually. There are multiple developers who
have access to hardware so that should not get in the way.

[UI standards]

[Dependencies]

[Standards compliance]

[Maintenance/Owner]
Owned by the Foundations team.

[Background information]
The package provides 3 binary packages.

- hwe-qcom-x1e-meta: This is picked up by "ubuntu-drivers --recommended" in subiquity and pulls
  in ubuntu-x1e-settings
- ubuntu-x1e-settings: A full set of configs needed to make a installation work. This includes
  statically configured kernel command line parameters that would regress other devices
- ubuntu-x1e-settings-nogrub: A safe subset of ubuntu-x1e-settings without the kernel command line.
  On our live media we want those to be set at runtime depending on which device we boot on to prevent
  regressions
