Advisory (also added to svn):

  This update of kernel-linus provides the upstream 4.1.12 longterm kernel
  and fixes atleast the following security issue:

  Moein Ghasemzadeh discovered that the USB WhiteHEAT serial driver contained
  hardcoded attributes about the USB devices. An attacker could construct a
  fake WhiteHEAT USB device that, when inserted, causes a denial of service
  (system crash) (CVE-2015-5257).

  It also fixes various upstream bugs, for more info see the referenced
  changelogs:

This seems to update just fine. I say to push it along.

Rebooted
Normal updates and networking and sshd working fine.
vlc and pulseaudio, firefox with Youtube and sound,
mplayer video and sound, all working.  
gwenview on this machine is slow to launch when pointed at a large collection of high resolution images which have to be thumbnailed.

Leaving it running because it seems to be OK.

mga5 x86_64  Mate
Installed kernel-linus-4.1.12-1.
Rebooted to kernel 4.1.12-1.mga5 and desktop applications appeared to be
working as normal apart from the prennial problem of having to reboot several times before the mate panel would appear (only on this laptop).
Checked firefox, Youtube videos with sound and HTML5 player, gwenview, USB::DVB T2, VirtualBox, LibreOffice writer...

Resumes after suspend to RAM on opening the lid.  There is a hiatus while the system looks for the actual display.  Without SLI it does not seem able to re-enable X - just a screenful of pink and white lines.  With SLI the garbage screen is presented but X kicks in after a couple of seconds.  This is consistent across all kernels so far.  nvidia-settings indicates that the display is connected to GPU0.
