Just keeping this open in systemd for my tracking until it's added upstream

Until systemd commit 97afc0351a96e0daa83964df33937967c75c644f, any errors during this process were simply logged to debug and ignored, but now udevadm will log errors and return failure. On ppc64el, the /sys/devices/vio device returns ENODEV when writing 'add' to its uevent, which causes the udevadm command to return failure, which causes the systemd-udev-trigger system service to fail. The kernel vio driver should be fixed to not return ENODEV. [test case] On a ppc64el system, with any systemd containing commit 97afc0351a96e0daa83964df33937967c75c644f, check the status of the systemd-udev-trigger service, to see that it's failed. Alternately, again on a ppc64el system, run as root: # echo add > /sys/devices/vio/uevent -bash: echo: write error: No such device [regression potential] the potential should be low, as this appears to have always behaved this way, at least for a while now. [other info] the systemd commit that changes udevadm to start failing for this error isn't included in any Ubuntu release yet, this is found from systemd upstream testing.
