I have built kernel 4.10.1 with some updated patches and if you would like to test them out (and please do), you can find both binary and source packages here [1]. I especially would like people who rely on the i915 arbitration patch to test it since I don't use that part.

As always, test at your own risk.

Um,I just got a new system with IOMMU and wanted to install this... it has been compiling for 4 hours now. Is this normal? Certainly not what I expected.

Update: ended in failure...

Spartus: On a slow computer, this will take a while to compile.

Thanks markzz. While I do appreciate that compile time is directly a function of computer speed, of course, it seems especially long for a brand new Ryzen 7 (although I fear baiting a conversation of AMD vs. Intel). Regardless, does 4+ hours seem reasonable based on other's experience?

Spartus: You shouldn't need this package if you're using an AMD chip. That is one of the few advantages of them (I kid I kid). ;-)

On a side note, it takes me over an hour on my i7-4790K and I usually set it to compile when I go to bed.

I also do provide this package on my repository, in the case you do actually need this package and you don't want to take the time to compile it (scroll down in the comments feed for more info).
