Comment 94 for bug 1403152

Seems like the fix isn't in or isn't working for this problem as I've just hit this issue again on 4.4.0-49, at least twice:
[434074.636075] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

Since, I see a lot of people talking about 4.8+ kernels fixing this issue, is there a generic package (or future plans for one, say when 4.9 LTS comes out in a week or two) that will allow anyone to upgrade, but also keep up with updates without following versions by hand? (Like the linux-image-generic package)

cheers!
