[FFe] evdi/1.7.0+dfsg-1ubuntu2 fails to build with linux 5.11

The project does not maintain a changelog, so instead attaching the git commit history between the v1.7.0 and v1.9.1 tags.

Would have preferred this to come much earlier, but sounds like something we need to do ...

Please make sure to keep an eye out for bugs.

I'll accept, thanks.

This bug should have straight away opened tasks against hirsute and focal.

Because we do provide newer kernels on hirsute (self built, or installed from kernel teams mainline ppa).

And because we do roll focal to newer kernels.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evdi/+bug/1932163 got opened two months later, and the SRU to focal will now reference them both.

Marking this bug report as duplicate of the SRU one, for more obvious SRU paper trail.

Hello Seth, or anyone else affected,

Accepted evdi into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evdi/1.9.1-1ubuntu3~20.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
