Since I doubt Marek or others will have time, I'd suggest building your own 
4.11-based kernel per the instructions found in this thread. :)

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.

The newer 4.9.35-19 kernel has a side-effect:

The return of an old problem where netVMs refuse to start unless an 
appVM has already been started. This means at boot I can't start 
anything network-connected until I start a non-networked VM.


IIRC it was Qubes R3.0 that had this problem.

My Lenovo T450 working fine with kernel 4.4
Jut tried the latest 4.9.31 and has some interesting graphic related
issues:

Under KDE, the application icons in the taskbar are messed up. Means
broken application images are displayed. Broken means some kind of
transition between the last visited desktop icons and the current one.
The problem disappear (probably refreshing to a valid icon) by the
time. But messing up again if I switch virtual desktops. Which I do
very often.

A refresh is surely occures if I switch out to a CLI terminal and
back. But the result is just temporary, as if I switching virtual
desktops the icons are getting messed up again and again.

Switched back to kernel 4.4 solved these problems, so it is less
likely a hardware bug.

4.9 is working OK so far. I was using 4.8 prior to this.
