Attaching debian-installer debdiff to update the kernel version so that the netboot images include this driver update on Bionic.
The kernel version eventually settled on is 4.15.0-62 after bug searching on versions after 4.15.0-58 (which releases this 'fix'). This builds correctly on all architectures on PPA [1]. I have tested the installer with regular/lvm disk partition layouts on amd64/i386/arm64/ppc64el/s390x on virtual machines with QEMU and on amd64 bare metal machine. The netboot installer boots the 4.15.0-62 kernel, finishes correctly, and the installed system w/ the 4.15.0-64 kernel (from bionic-updates) boots correctly. The copy of the installer log in it (/var/log/installer/syslog) shows no weird kernel messages at all, all good.
