Maybe we do not need this fix on Yakkety anymore, let me explain.
 
In the past, we were using Yakkety just to be able to install our POWER9
machines and then upgrade to the HWE kernel (4.10), since 4.10 is the
kernel we are caring about for these new features. Since this was a
problem we were facing during install, we requested this fix for Yakkety
also.

Now I finally have a 16.04.3 internal install image, thus, Yaketty
importance is decreasing for POWER9 features. 

Since this is a POWER9 "request", having it on Zesty only should be
fine.

Thanks,
Breno
