Yakkety: Enable drivers with respect to Xenial

[Tim Gardner]

The are many drivers enabled in Xenial that are not enabled in Yakkety. This represents a feature regression that occurred when the more modular config scheme was adopted from Debian kernels. This bug represents changes to the Yakkety config wherein only modular drivers are enabled. No core kernel settings are changed.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 4.8.0-16.17
