Kernel development for Yakkety

[Tim Gardner]

I've been working on getting some semblance of a Yakkety kernel working. 
You can follow along by watching 
'git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable 
master'. Beware, some days this branch gets massively rebased as often 
as several times in an hour (especially on Mondays when the rc's are 
released).

There are currently PIE related toolchain issues in Yakkety, so I've 
continued to build using the Xenial toolchain.

The initial rebase from Xenial had some patch fallout:

Seth - Could you have a look at these patches. I assume they are still 
necessary.

UBUNTU: SAUCE: ext4: Add support for unprivileged mounts from user 
namespaces
UBUNTU: SAUCE: ext4: Add module parameter to enable user namespace mounts

You should also have a look at this backport to ensure that I did it 
correctly:

UBUNTU: SAUCE: cgroup: Use a new super block when mounting in a cgroup 
namespace

Dann - arm EFI has been completely re-factored. This patch (though 
relatively simple) may no longer be necessary:

UBUNTU: SAUCE: (noup) efi: ARM/arm64: ignore DT memory nodes instead of 
removing them
