You can use a kernel package from backports.
linux-image-4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64-unsigned_4.7.8-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb is
available if you add this line to the sources.list:

  deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free


Then you have to use the kernel cmdline option "rootovl" instead of "aufs".

Need new kernel for nfsroot

[Frank Steinberg]

Hi!

I'd like to build and use a new kernel package for my nfsroot, because I have 
to support some new hardware (Qualcomm Atheros E2400 support in the alx 
driver). In march Thomas has created a 4.4.6 kernel package with aufs support, 
which still does not support my hardware, unfortunately. What do I have to take 
of? Just pick the right kernel sources, make sure to include the required 
modules and build the package with make-kpkg? Is this process already described 
somewhere?

Thanks in advance,
