kernel 4.6-rc2 with John Brodie patches - was Re: kernel 4.6-rc1

[Nicolas Huillard]

Thank you for the update!
I didn't have much time to do anything, and still have to provide you
with screenshots of Win8 audio devices.
I hesitate to upgrade from Debian jessie to testing (still 64 bits) in
order to have more up-to-date DRM/i915/Wayland stuff. I may not be able
to compile kernels then.
