Upgrade on Tegra Orin is not possible currently
NVIDIA does not provide support for running a distribution other than
Jammy on Tegra Orin yet.
Upgrading to another version of Ubuntu with a different kernel may
end up in a non-booting state or with limited hardware support, until
NVIDIA offers support for these newer kernels on Orin-class hardware.
Restoring original system state

** Description changed:
[ Impact ]
* The currently released jammy image can not be upgraded to noble
until nvidia provides support. Doing so will end up with a broken
system and thus should be prevented.
* In order to prevent this, block the upgrade from jammy on the
impacted systems in ubuntu update-manager
[ Test Plan ]
* install jammy on a Jetson Orin system
* launch do-release-upgrade: it should not list noble as a proposed
- upgrade
+ upgrade (see real output in the comment down below)
[ Where problems could occur ]
* The blocking could affect other systems if the blocking is poorly
implemented.
* The blocking need to be disabled in a future update once upgrading is allowed,
it thus must not prevent update-manager from being upgraded.
[ Other Info ]
* The do-release-upgrade system downloads the latest upgrader from Noble, so
implementing a blocking on Jammy requires doing the change in Noble.
