I went ahead and updated this branch with the 4 additional commits that
Juerg identified in the corresponding Cosmic thread. I've boot tested
those additional commits. Here's the updated pull request:

The following changes since commit 53f4f4b0576f627345fb3769fdd6d20b6249dd91:

  UBUNTU: Ubuntu-4.15.0-47.50 (2019-03-13 04:37:50 +0000)
