Same as with the 4.8.12-12
That means quite a lot of hardware does not work or are not recognised
by the kernel.
This is on a very recent i5-7200U based ASUS B9440U laptop with its
accompaining USB-C dock.
Powermanagemet in general is sorely missing on laptop with Qubes.
(batterylife is 3-4 hours instead of approx. 10, the monitor backlight
never turns off despite the screensaver turning the screen black, the
keyboard backlight does not work and the fan runs nearly all the time.

Well I look forward to kernel 4.10 and 4.11 and hope to see them soon
on Qubes.
Othervise I will have to end my Qubes experiment on this laptop and
install something else, in order to get actual work done.
