No need to test the 4.5-rc1 kernel. Because v4.4-wily is good, we can not bisect between 4.4 and 4.5-rc1. It also means that the bug was introduced by one of the 4.4 stable updates, or by an Ubuntu specific SAUCE patch.

We should bisect between the 4.4 Ubuntu kernels. However, it would be good to also know if this bug was also introduced into Yakkey(16.10). Can you test the latest Yakkety kernel, which can be downloaded from:
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/11765356

With that kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

For the Xenial bisect, the kernels we need to test are all available from:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/linux

What we would need to do is test the kernels and find the earliest kernel that does not have the bug, then the first that does. Then we would bisect between those two versions to find the offending commit.
