Subject: Linux 4.11: Reported regressions as of Tuesday, 2017-04-02

Hi! Find below my second regression report for Linux 4.11. It lists 13
regressions I'm currently aware of. It lists 6 fixed regressions. Some
of them where in the first report from three weeks ago; a few were 
supposed to go into a second report I prepared last week, but wasn't 
able to finish :-/

As always: Are you aware of any other regressions? Then please let me
know (simply CC regressions@...mhuis.info). And please tell me if there
is anything in the report that shouldn't be there.

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: Thx to all those that CCed me on regression reports, that makes
compiling these reports a whole lot easier!
