I already discussed this with Martin Schwidefsky and we decided *not* to
go via stable but instead "warn" Ubuntu explicitly.

AFAIK you are the only official distribution that uses 4.13 for zfcpdump
- therefore IMHO this should be sufficient.

I did not check anything - this bugzilla was just a heads-up.

Thanks.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 17.10 uses kernel 4.13.

  We just found out that on this kernel version CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not
  enabled by "make zfcpdump_defconfig".

  This makes zfcpdump fail with the following error message:

  ERROR: Unable to mount debugfs 
  No such file or directory

  Patch solving this problem is attached
