While 4.14 and 4.9 BPF backports are tested and out since yesterday, and I
saw Greg queued them up (thanks!), it looks like plain 4.4.113 doesn't even
boot on my machine. While I can shortly see the kernel log, my screen turns
black shortly thereafter and nothing reacts anymore. No such problems with
4.9 and 4.14 stables seen. (using x86_64, i7-6600U) Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Daniel
