Already applied to D/E, so it makes sense to bring them in sync.

My only comment is regarding the subject of the patch. For config
changes, we use the prefix "UBUNTU: [Config]" and the subject mentions
only arm64 when in fact the patch changes the value for other arch's
as well. So I would suggest we use the same subject as the patch
applied for D/E:


UBUNTU: [Config] CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=18 on all 64bit arches​
