This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed- xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Measured with null syscall loop, which will have the flush area in the L2 cache. The flush also becomes simpler and more adaptable to different cache geometries. [Test Case] TBD. [Regression Potential] The risk is deemed low since the changes are confined to POWER only and the provided test kernels have been tested by IBM.
