Starting with glibc 2.26, Linux kernel 3.2 or later is required. This
change only affects amd64 and i386 as it was already the case in Stretch
for other architectures. The libc6 preinst has a check and aborts the
installation if it is not the case to avoid completely breaking the
system. That said it will leave the upgrade unfinished.

Linux kernel 2.6.32 is popular, as it is the latest version supported by
OpenVZ. It therefore looks like a good idea to add an entry about that
in the release notes.

Thanks for the review, I have committed this to the notes:
