After messing around manually with the kernel I found your .config, that |

could've saved me a lot of time. |

I have a .config for 4.9.6-r1 I believe. I've noticed some patches have |
| 30 |
been partially applied in 4.9.6-r1 and will modify the patches |
| 31 |
accordingly. If I can figure out how to use git I can send the updates. |
