Kernel 7.0 & 26.04 LTS compatibilty

[mwedwards]

Hello, thank you for putting this together. Does Intel have rough plans for Kernel 7.0 & Ubuntu 26.04 LTS compatibility? My organization has recently built out a number of 26.04 workstations running Core Ultra 9 285, and downgrading to 2024.04 is generally undesirable as an option unless Kernel 7 support is still several months away.

The NPU support is in Kernel 7.0 in place. The only issue is that NPU workloads are not tested in Ubuntu 26.04. We are in progress of adding Ubuntu26.04. I do not have any estimate today. Need to talk to the team first about Ubuntu26.04 availability
