I already tested the patches. The additional changes are only in regard
of dirtyCOW. So it should work just fine. You can take a look at the
changes of the incr patches:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/incr/patch-4.4.25-26.xz
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/incr/patch-4.8.2-3.xz

However, it seems a newer set of patches just came out ...

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/incr/patch-4.4.26-27.xz
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/incr/patch-4.8.3-4.xz

Let me check if they also apply.
