Interesting comments start at #18 (no anchor available!) at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- lts-xenial/+bug/1336541 Could someone knowledgeable in the this area take a look and the comments and give a summary of the problem. Perhaps it can then be moved off the `io_other' component.
