I tried to bisect the problem, but when I try to boot only with: "KAISER: Kernel Address Isolation" machine hangs during boot and reboots without any panic message.
4.4.109 boots fine 4.9.75rc1 also boots fine.
Hm, so I'm guessing 4.15-rc6 also works?
Odd that 4.9.75-rc1 fails.
s/4.9.75/4.4.110/ I suppose.
Can't this be because more patches are required in 4.4 to support this patch set ? Or maybe a manual fix for a conflict that went wrong ? Just trying to guess.
