Disabling CONFIG_HVC_UDBG on ppc64el config because it is not
required on production environment (fake hypervisor console debug), and
it is causing some issues that are still being investigated.

Applied to zesty master-next with subject changed to "UBUNTU: [Config]
Disable CONFIG_HVC_UDBG on ppc64el."

This doesn't apply to yakkety, as yakkety still has the annotation for
powerpc. Since this has been on for a long time on powerpc, I would
rather keep it. More so, as you are disabling this on ppc64el for issues
you are still investigating. Can you send another patch for Yakkety?

Thanks.
Cascardo.

Maybe we do not need this fix on Yakkety anymore, let me explain.
 
In the past, we were using Yakkety just to be able to install our POWER9
machines and then upgrade to the HWE kernel (4.10), since 4.10 is the
kernel we are caring about for these new features. Since this was a
problem we were facing during install, we requested this fix for Yakkety
also.

Now I finally have a 16.04.3 internal install image, thus, Yaketty
importance is decreasing for POWER9 features. 

Since this is a POWER9 "request", having it on Zesty only should be
fine.

Thanks,
Breno
