Yes I'd like to wrap this up too. Can we take a step back first and
revisit the earlier patch-set to update to 3.8.16 and add support for
4.1.3 kernels first? If so I'll try to test with what seems to be the
latest long term kernels on kernel.org, 3.8.22 and 4.1.10.

With that in place I can then add the kernel fragment support on top.
(And then start looking into Dockerification which looks intriguing... ;)

How does that sound?

Best, Alex
