The error is actually in the use of iscsitarget-dkms at all with newer kernels, and hopefully if end-users depend on it and see the 'skipped' message, they will come to this bug via the changelog. I do not believe there is any regression potential, as I have tested that 4.4.0-* kernels still build the dkms module fine and that all other 16.04 kernel families skip it. --- I am unable to build the iscsitarget DKMS module on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
