[Bug 1826737] Please test proposed package

[Brian Murray]

Hello Stephen, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lshw into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lshw/02.18.85-0.3ubuntu2.20.04.1 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * NVMe devices are not recognized by lshw in Ubuntu

  [Test Case]

   * Running "lshw -C disk" or "lshw -C storage" does not show NVMe devices.
     Example: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/FfKGNc7W6M/

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This upload consists of four cherry-picked patches and the feature
  is self-contained, so the regression potential is quite low. If
  there's anything to happen, it would be in the network device scan,
  where the structure was altered by the main NVMe patch.

  * For those who does HW monitoring/inventory listing based on 'lshw'
  might observe changes in their inventory listing, it shouldn't be a
  'problem' but I want to point this out.

  [Other information]

  # Redhat bug:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1695343

  * It also seems to fit in the 'other safe cases':

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Other_safe_cases
  For Long Term Support releases we regularly want to enable new hardware. Such changes are appropriate provided that we can ensure not to affect upgrades on existing hardware.
