Public bug reported:
SRU Justification
[Impact]
* linux-azure-nvidia has not seen an archive release since 6.14 due to
issues with adoption of a released kernel. We do have Ubuntu images
containing the linux-azure-nvidia kernel, which is now an EOL kernel.
Introduce a transitional package to update users to a supported 7.0
kernel.
[Fix]
* Add linux-azure-nvidia as transitional package on n:linux-azure-7.0
kernel
[Test Plan]
* Tested upgrade path from personal PPA build
[Regression potential]
* No kernel source tree code is modified. Unexpected support in a 7.0
kernel could be encountered, however, 6.14 is quite old and vulnerable
to a host of security issues.

SRU Justification
[Impact]
- * Microsoft requested MANA patch to reduce waiting time during MANA
- unloading if HWC is not responding.
+ * linux-azure-nvidia has not seen an archive release since 6.14 due to
+ issues with adoption of a released kernel. We do have Ubuntu images

[Fix]
- * clean cherry-pick of upstream patch:
- * c4deabbc1abe: "net: mana: Reduce waiting time if HWC not responding"
+ * Add linux-azure-nvidia as transitional package on n:linux-azure-7.0
+ kernel
[Test Plan]
- * Compile tested
- * Microsoft to test
+ * Tested upgrade path from personal PPA build
[Regression potential]
- * Patch limited to MANA infiniband. Possible regressions result in
- unexpected behavior of MANA infiniband driver.
