I'm running a pretty customized kernel here. As far as I can recall the only thing that changed in my kernel configuration from 4.4 to 4.5 was removing the splash pseudo-device. I've heard on this list that its not needed for remote servers.
That could be the cause but I'm unable to make sense of why. It must be something else.
