I'm not on the kernel team, but I'm not sure what would make this flavor
invalid w/ HWE. The xgene-uboot flavor is merely a wrapped version of
the -generic kernel. This kernel works fine on the target platform, once
you can get it installed.

** Changed in: maas
       Status: Expired => New

** Description changed:

  When trying to deploy Moonshot nodes, the sub-arch must be set to xgene-
  uboot for it to be deployed with GA kernel.
  
  However, when trying to deploy it with the HWE kernel it will complain that:
-     Subarchitecture(xgene-uboot) must be generic when setting hwe_kernel.
+     Subarchitecture(xgene-uboot) must be generic when setting hwe_kernel.
  
- Not sure if this is a bug in MAAS, or some by-design limitation.

- If I set the sub-arch to arm64/generic, the deployment for Xenial +
- hwe-16.04 will drop into a boot loop with error message in console:
