It is the same set of patches as we have on Bionic.
Bionic has
1. 8fea70440eb0d095442de7e80d586a285cf96be5
2. 399b2896d4948a1ec0278d896ea3a561df768d64
3. 8c5909c41916f25b47bfdc465059a926603c1319

Disco for this bug has #2+#4 while #1+#3 are already part of the base
version that is in qemu of Disco.

Due to different contexts they are slightly different.
Upstream defines it as
+#define SPAPR_CAP_CCF_ASSIST            0x09
Due to the context change in Bionic and Disco 0x06 and 0x08 respectively.
That index matters if it would be off in the capability_table[SPAPR_CAP_NUM].
I recounted the field to ensure there is no off by one and also otherwise 
compared the diffs of the upstream commits and the bionic/disco backports. 
There doesn't seem to be an issue in those.


@Michael could you retest this on Disco and the kernel you used (and worked) 
from Bionic.
If it is a kernel issue I'm fine and we can open a kernel task for it for 
Disco? That would help as we would not have to stop/gate qemu in that case.
