new kernel 4.12.0-rc2

[Robert John Small]

So, installed the new kernel this morning to give it a quick test and 
see if Paul just got lucky or what...

He didn't. This is an insanely more featured and stable kernel. Really, 
try it.

Things it does:
- Backlight
- Suspend/resume (systemctl suspend then the power button to resume)
- Keyboard
- Touchpad
- Better than stock stability (give it a few days for us to tickle the 
bug a bit more and we can upgrade that a bit I hope)
- Stable wireless

Things it doesn't (do):
- Scrolling on the touchpad
- Touchscreen after suspend/resume sequence
- Make coffee
- Audio (regression :( )

I also noticed some additional start up errors but they were gone too 
fast to see what they were about.


Thanks,
Robert Small.
