Kinetic?

Basically it is quite onerous to validate a 10k debdiff to make sure it
doesn't include anything untoward / unwanted etc.

Title:
  [SRU] Upgrade to 4.16.1+51-g0a5387a011 for Jammy and Kinetic

Status in xen package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in xen source package in Jammy:
  New
Status in xen package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A new upstream maintenance release 4.16.1 is available, and 51 commits
  have been made to the stable-4.16 branch in the upstream Git
  repository since that release.

  [Test Plan]
  For each CVE fixed by this release, test that it can be exploited with the current packages and that it cannot be exploited with the updated packages.

  [Where problems could occur]
  The source package has many packages in its reverse dependency/recommendation tree. The bug fixes and improvements in Xen may cause regressions in those packages and in software outside of the Ubuntu archive.
