I've problems applying this on my mac mini (Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU,
P7550  @ 2.6 GHz).

deb9u1 went fine, but when booting u2, the system freezes. After
fsck,... running /scripts/init-bottom and loading ip_tables it hangs,
showing a panic on usb-drives from time to time.

Booting without usb-devices, freezes without an error.

Are you aware of any regressions? I'm using intel microcode
3.20170707.1~deb9u1 from stretch. What's the recommended
microcode-version for this kernel?

Thanks,
Frank
