This adds support for 435 (which hasn't been replaced yet), for the
new 450, 450-server, 418-server, 440-server series.

The 450 series replaces the 440 series, whereas the 440-server series
is still supported.

This will require updating the dkms-versions when cranking.

I'm not sure what tree you were working with, but it's either the wrong
one or else it is woefully out of date. You should use this tree:

https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable

It's probably best to use the master-5.8 branch.

Patch 1 isn't needed there. I was able to apply patches 2/3 with context
adjustments. But l-r-m seems to also be based on something out of date,
and it looks to require a bit more than context adjustments, so I'll
hold off on the kernel changes until l-r-m is sorted.

Thanks,
Seth
