4.6 was released last night by kernel.org.  I've updated the patch
set, mainly adding some newly found patches.  These reduce dmesg
errors by addressing some new wifi driver bugs.  They seemed to have
stopped the "soft" freeze I had in a recent kernel.  4.6 also appears
to be compatible with aufs (available separately from github)  Happy
building.

CHI perspective: bluetooth ID is still missing(needs patch from set),
no sound, backlight control works unpatched.  Stability is still
unknown.
Bluetooth not quite fully automatic but better.  I added a startup
command to launch blueman-manager.  A couple of mouse clicks or screen
taps finds my mouse and keyboard and they reconnect readily after idle
timeouts.  4.5.4 and 4.4.10 share those bt improvements."
