This kernel has been patched with the dpaa-v2.patch because of an issue with DPAA on Ubuntu 16.04.

It's suitable for old Linux distributions which don't work with the latest kernels for example Ubuntu 10.04.
It's also suitable if you have some issues with the latest kernels.

@Roland
Could you please test this kernel? I want to make sure that it works for you.

@All
Of course you can also test it.

Thanks,
Christian
