Sorry I took so long to respond; I work for Comcast and the Super Bowl is a
very busy time here. I asked the guy who built the kernel what specs he
modified, and he directed me to the "kernel-lt-4.4" and "kernel-ml-4.10"
specfiles. He says the 4.9-lt (the one I'm having issues with) is a combination
of the two, so I uploaded a diff with each of them. I'm not totally sure how
helpful that is, so if you want a diff with a specific, standard kernel just
let me know.
