Problems with acpiphp kernel module in 4.4.0-79-generic #100-Ubuntu SMP

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

We are running the servers in AWS. The journal contains reports like:

	Jun 14 08:08:30 int-tc1 systemd-journald[298]: Journal started

	Jun 14 08:08:30 int-tc1 systemd[1]: Started Create list of required static device nodes for the current kernel.

The cause seems to be a kernel change from #99 to #100 which deleted the acpiphp.o and acpiphp_ibm.o kernel modules. Presumingly /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-79/drivers/pci/hotplug/Makefile needs to be changed too for next kernel release.
