I'm running kernel 4.7/stable.
It's installed from Opensuse packages atm.
Using the current kernel causes a crash when booting Xen 4.7 on UEFI.
Referenced in this now ridiculously-long thread

In hunting down the problem, this specific code was asked about @ 'xen-devel'
ML,

While I see that you're running linux-4.7 could you please
double-check
that it has the following:
commit 55f1ea15216a5a14c96738bd5284100a00ffa9dc
Author: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>

efi: Fix for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map() for empty memmaps
A patch to the patch was proposed @ 'xen-devel' ML,
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-08/msg00399.html
It seems to fix the problem. Boot to Xen with kernel 4.7 no longer crashes.
But then THAT patched patch was questioned @ 'opensuse-kernel' ML
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-08/msg00747.html
I'd just like to get to a correct fix & get it into upstream kernel, since that
is what I'm told we need to wait for to get packages from the distro that have
the patch & work.
Since it seems it IS a kernel problem, I was hoping someone here could help
shortcircuit this back & forth between projects and get the fix into kernel
code.
Thanks.
