Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   linux-image-5.15.0-1087-kvm     5.15.0-1087.92
   linux-image-5.15.0-1088-gke     5.15.0-1088.94
   linux-image-gke                 5.15.0.1088.87
   linux-image-gke-5.15            5.15.0.1088.87
   linux-image-kvm                 5.15.0.1087.83
   linux-image-kvm-5.15            5.15.0.1087.83

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
   linux-image-5.15.0-1085-ibm     5.15.0-1085.88~20.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-ibm                 5.15.0.1085.88~20.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-ibm-5.15            5.15.0.1085.88~20.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
