Desktop kernel installation on four x86_64 Intel/nvidia machines:

core i7 4790
nvidia GTX970 : 390.87

core i7 3630QM
nvidia GT650M : 390.87

core i7 5700HQ
nvidia GTX965M : 390.87

core i7 2600
nvidia GTX 555 : 390.87

Establishing the correct nvidia graphics driver was difficult in all these cases; a later kernel (backport) needed to be removed and drakx11 run after reboot - entailing another reboot.
All rebooted to Mate under nvidia-current.  NFS shares mounted OK.  In these latest kernels there are always a couple of popups after login requiring the root password to enable networking and set rfkill state.

So far the Mate desktop is running fine and stress tests complete OK.  In good shape for installing the linus kernel.

Re comment 5.  The GTX965 laptop is not suspending when the lid is closed.  The screen blanks but still has backlighting and the display resumes immediately when the lid is opened.  Might be a regression.

Need to check the other laptop.

Re comment 6;
Shut the lid in the middle of writing this on the Ideapad Y500 GT650M machine and  it suspended OK and resumed on reopening.  Settings are very similar.
Hardware sensitive regression?

It gets worse.  The Asus X51 - GTX965M - now refuses to shutdown or suspend from the logout menu.  Logged back in and tried 'shutdown now'.  The request was refused - "There is already a shutdown or sleep operation in progress".
The only recourse is to lean on the power button.

MGA6-32 MATE on IBM Thinkpad R50e
No installation issues 
Ethernet internet connection OK.
Tested doc, xls, odt, jpg, tiff, wav, avi, mpeg files all OK
Access to NFS shares OK
Video and images from newspaper site idem.
Only snag seen (heard) is that mp3 files (converted from wav files in previous tests) do not play fluently, sound stutters terribly. This is a slow laptop, but I've never noticed this before.
All in all no objections.

Mageia-7-beta2-Live-Xfce-i586.iso
Still works as a Vbox client. Boots to a working desktop.

Mageia-6.1-LiveDVD-GNOME-x86_64-DVD.iso
Create a Vbox client. Works just fine. Boots to a working desktop.

Mageia-7-beta2-x86_64.iso
Installs as a Vbox client. Boots to a working desktop.
Updates then reboots back to a working desktop.

Test platform:
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 MoBo
GIGABYTE GV-N440D3-1GI Nvidia GeForce GT 440 (Fermi) 1GB
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express 1Gbit Ethernet
DRAM 16GB (4 x 4GB)

Intel Core i9-7900X
NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti

To get everything to work the later backport kernel had to be removed which was a bit hairy because it was the running kernel.

After update Mate was working but drakx11 was needed to rebuild the graphics driver kmod.  All OK after reboot; nvidia 390.87.
All 20 cores active when needed.  stress tests ran fine.

Kstars, Celestia and Stellarium all running at the same time, fullscreen in separate workspaces although once Stellarium was up the panel was no longer available.  It seems pretty robust.

NFS shares mounted from fstab.  LO writer works - printed to wifi HP printer.
SSH login over the LAN OK.  vlc playing a video from remote machine, sound OK.

Same hardware and system as Comment 13.

Started by booting into kernel-server 4.14.89, and removed all other now-unused kernels. Then ran "update-grub" just in case.

Used qarepo to download the listed packages, then updated. Rebooted to a working desktop, nvidia340 driver module built somewhere along the way. Tried a number of common apps, no regressions noted.

Looks OK here.

description: |
  This kernel update is based on the upstream 4.14.100 and fixes atleast
  the following security issues:

  A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM
  hypervisor processed posted interrupts when nested(=1) virtualization is
  enabled. In nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an error while
  processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pi_desc_page' without
  resetting 'pi_desc' descriptor address, which is later used in
  pi_test_and_clear_on(). A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash
  the host kernel resulting in DoS or potentially gain privileged access to
  a system (CVE-2018-16882).

  A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. NFS41+ shares
  mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make
  bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free
  vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel
  memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw,
  privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out (CVE-2018-16884).

  A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hso_probe() which
  reads if_num value from the USB device (as an u8) and uses it without a
  length check to index an array, resulting in an OOB memory read in
  hso_probe() or hso_get_config_data(). An attacker with a forged USB
  device and physical access to a system (needed to connect such a device)
  can cause a system crash and a denial of service (CVE-2018-19985).

  An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in net/can/gw.c in the Linux
  kernel through 4.19.13. The CAN frame modification rules allow bitwise
  logical operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc field. Because
  of a missing check, the CAN drivers may write arbitrary content beyond
  the data registers in the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing
  can-gw manipulated outgoing frames. This is related to cgw_csum_xor_rel.
  An unprivileged user can trigger a system crash (general protection fault)
  (CVE-2019-3701).

  A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read()
  in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may enter an infinite loop with
  certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged user ("root")
  can cause a system lock up and a denial of service (CVE-2019-3819).

  In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8, kvm_ioctl_create_device in
  virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandles reference counting because of a race
  condition, leading to a use-after-free (CVE-2019-6974).

  A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM
  hypervisor emulates a preemption timer for L2 guests when nested (=1)
  virtualization is enabled. This high resolution timer(hrtimer) runs when
  a L2 guest is active. After VM exit, the sync_vmcs12() timer object is
  stopped. The use-after-free occurs if the timer object is freed before
  calling sync_vmcs12() routine. A guest user/process could use this flaw
  to crash the host kernel resulting in a denial of service or, potentially,
  gain privileged access to a system (CVE-2019-7221).

  An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM
  hypervisor handled page fault exceptions while emulating instructions
  like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, and VMWRITE with memory address as an
  operand. It occurs if the operand is a mmio address, as the returned
  exception object holds uninitialized stack memory contents. A guest
  user/process could use this flaw to leak host's stack memory contents
  to a guest (CVE-2019-7222).

  Other fixes in this update:
  * Ndiswrapper has been updated to 1.62
  * WireGuard has been updated to 0.0.20190123
