Great.

I made to minor adaption. I added a link to the Status page to my warning in 
before the kernel log by feature page. And I also mentioned that at the time 
the page was last updated the latest kernel version was 4.7. Yes, thats some 
extra work to update the kernel version, but I think its beneficial to 
explicitely mention the kernel version the page talks about. Everyone who 
updates the page can update the version within a second.
