I have troubles with older versions of the Linux kernel on ARM.  Anything
older than 3.2 either doesn't boot or is unstable.  Kernel only, user code
built with 4.7+ seems to be fine.  Since I need to use those older kernels
and I don't have the time/budget to figure out why they don't work with 4.7+,
I'm sticking with 4.6+ for now.
