Unfortunately .defval="1" functionality doesnt work for this case.
Instead, what we do is, we modify the root_check() function in root.c,such a way that, the required functionality of zdev:early=1 is enabled by default, based on a MACRO.

The new MACRO will be build-time configurable, which will then be used by Canonical while building the chzdev.

The patch is being developed and will push to s390-tools upstream once it is ready. Which can then be used by Canonical. So, we dont need a Canonical-only change in the code; But the change is only the MACRO-definition passed during the build-time.
