Linux 4.11: Reported regressions as of Sunday, 2017-04-09

Mon Apr 10 03:15:49 AEST 2017

Hi! Find below my third regression report for Linux 4.11. It lists 15
regressions I'm currently aware of. 5 regressions mentioned in last
weeks report got fixed.

As always: Are you aware of any other regressions? Then please let me
know (simply CC regressions at leemhuis.info). And please tell me if there
is anything in the report that shouldn't be there.

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: Thx to all those that CCed me on regression reports or provided
other input, as that makes compiling these reports a whole lot easier!
