Yes. I just installed it here and I can't see the problem:

$  uname -a
Linux 1604 4.13.0-32-generic #35~lp1736145 SMP Mon Feb 5 17:01:30 UTC 2018 
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux

Thanks!

  Ubuntu16.04.03: ISAv3 initialize MMU registers before setting
  partition table

  kexec can leave MMU registers set, PIDR in particular, when booting the
  new kernel. The boot sequence does not zero PIDR ever, and it only gets
  changed as CPUs first switch to userspace processes. This can leave a
  window where speculative accesses from a CPU to quadrant 0 can pick up
  translations in the partition table that may be set up for processes
  running on other CPUs. These cached translations will not be involved in
  the invalidation protocol, so we can end with stable TLB and PWC.

  
  We need to have this patch included in Ubuntu kernel.

  We do not have commit id, but once we have, I will post here. There is
  no need to include the patch prior to upstream acceptance.
