Hi Joe, yes that should be easy for me to test. I think I only need to run that patched xenial kernel in a KVM virtual machine and the device shouldn't be there - however running it directly in LPAR should show the device.
I'm off on Wednesday, but will test it later this week. Bye, Frank Frank Heimes | Tech.
