Nafallo - the big display change for 4.4.0-9 was 'UBUNTU: SAUCE:
i915_bpo: Provide a backport driver for SKL, KBL & BXT graphics'. You'll
need to provide at least the output of lspci in order for me to tell if
you've got one of those displays. Can you boot to a functional kernel
and run

Title:
  i915 corruption in 4.4.0-9

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hi Tim,

  Text is getting corrupted in 4.4.0-9. I see changes have been made to
  the i915 driver. Booting on ABI 8 fixes the corruption.

  This is very similar to what I saw:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/584922/how-do-i-fix-fonts-not-
  rendering-and-missing-letters

  I would deem this release critical, if reproducible. I'm on Lenovo
  x201.

  Cheers,
  Nafallo
