The first two commits listed in the bug description are indeed already in Zesty via bug 1681429.
I built a test kernel with the third of the requested patches in the description(Commit a5998fcb92). This test kernel also has the three additional patches requested in comment #3. The first and third patches mentioned comment #3(5ce5fe14ed and 424de9c6e3) picked cleanly from linux-next. However, commit a46cc7a90f needed a minor backport. The test kernel can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1709220/ Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?
