Bug#818502: kernel 3.17 is probably OK

[Václav Ovsík <vaclav.ovsik@gmail.com>]

Hi,
report from testing so far.

  apate:~# getSystemId 
  Libsmbios version:      2.2.28
  Product Name:           PowerEdge 1950
  Vendor:                 Dell Inc.
  BIOS Version:           2.3.1
  System ID:              0x01B3
  Service Tag:            BYV0W3J
  Express Service Code:   26052565375

I tested using shell oneliner in VM:

  i=0; while :; do let i=i+1; echo; echo "run $i ..."; echo; sleep 5; apt install -y linux-source || break; sleep 5; apt remove --auto-remove -y linux-source || break; done

I took current kernel version from stable
  Linux apate 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4 (2016-02-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

and did it 10 runs till crash. Number of iterations needed to crash was:
  18, 6, 22, 10, 28, 16, 9, 1, 1, 6

I took kernel version 3.17
  Linux apate 3.17-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.17-1~exp1 (2014-10-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux
  http://snapshot.debian.org:/archive/debian/20141130T220818Z/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.17-1-amd64_3.17-1~exp1_amd64.deb

and after 179 iterations there was no crash in VM. I think this kernel version is OK.

Any suggestions what to test now?
Thanks
