Title:
  Xenial update to 4.4.110 stable release

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

      Impact:
         The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
         in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
         demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
         by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
         a minimally backported form of that patch. The 4.4.110 upstream stable
         patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
         kernel as well.

         git://git.kernel.org/

      TEST CASE: TBD

  * x86/boot: Add early cmdline parsing for options with arguments

  * kaiser: stack map PAGE_SIZE at THREAD_SIZE-PAGE_SIZE
  * kaiser: fix build and FIXME in alloc_ldt_struct()
