[Bug 1524553] Re: s390x from xenial has broken zipl

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

size mismatch indicates a miss compilation.

lack of bringing up qeth devices indicates lack of discovery / boot
integration, will investigate.

  # Workaround:

  This causes QETH 0.0.600, 0.0.601, 0.0.602 not to come online
  automatically.

  echo 0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth
  echo 1 > /sys/devices/qeth/0.0.0600/online
