  1. linux: Add release candidate version 4.9-rc8 

    Announcement for Linux 4.9-rc8 [1]:

> So if anybody has been following the git tree, it should come as no
> surprise that I ended up doing an rc8 after all: things haven't been
> bad, but it also hasn't been the complete quiet that would have made
> me go "no point in doing another week".
>
> Extra kudos to Arnd, who actually root-caused the incredibly annoying
> "modversions do not work with new versions of binutils", bisecting it
> to a particular change to symbol handling in binutils, and then adding
> a small one-liner patch to the kernel to work around the issue. We
> already had other workarounds in place, but it's always good to know
> exactly what in the tool chain changed to cause things like this.
>
> But that one-liner was just one of 163 small fixes (not counting
> merges) in rc8. That's pretty small (for the kernel), but certainly
> not completely quiet. Full details appended, but it's mostly
> networking (error path leaks stand out, but it's a random collection)
> and random drivers, with a couple of small fixes to core stuff
> (vm/fs/kernel).
