The instructions to add the ppa and install the kernel etc are in the 
PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~centriq-team/+archive/ubuntu/test/

in brief:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:centriq-team/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.10.0-20-generic 
linux-image-extra-4.10.0-20-generic

If you have multiple versions of the kernel installed on your system 
and if you want to stop at the grub menu to select your kernel... you 
need to edit /etc/default/grub and comment out "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0"  
before you install the kernel package (if you edited after you 
installed you can just run sudo update-grub2). This will drop you into 
the grub menu, where you can go into the "Advanced" tab and select the 
kernel you want to boot.
