Bug description:
  With 17.10 it's now possible (with some extra steps) to use PXE netboot with KVM on s390x.
  To make the most out of it we should have official s390x KVM (PXE) netboot images, at least starting with bionic, but better already for artful (to get things stabilized for bionic).

  As folder and location I suggest to follow the same approach like we ave for other architectures:
  http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/artful/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/
  http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/artful/main/installer-s390x/current/images/netboot/

  Having a netboot image would be a step towards further usage (like
  MAAS ...).
