Comment 96 for bug 1403152

I added the 2 commits referenced in the docker thread:
https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/5618#issuecomment-262081488

which is building right now in the test ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+archive/ubuntu/lp1403152

kernel version 4.4.0-53.74+hf1403152v20161214b1 is the latest xenial kernel, plus those 2 patches.

As far as testing with the 4.8 kernel on xenial, you can use the kernel team's build ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

obviously kernels there are completely unsupported and may break everything, etc., etc., and should be used for testing/debug ONLY.

to install the yakkety 4.8 kernel on a xenial system, after adding the ppa to your system:

# sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge
