This update has been submitted for testing by jforbes.
Works for me x86_64. Gnome, Core2 Quad, 4 GB, Radeon HD 3650.
This update has been pushed to testing.
I run Dirty COW test with 4.7.9. The exploit does not work. All OK.
I confirm CVE-2016-5195 kernel test. No regression.
The dirtycow exploit was taking too long on previous kernels, so the fact that it still doesn't work on this kernel doesn't mean much. I think my system may be too slow.

Didn't check the COW fix, but it boots fine on multiple machines.
This update has been pushed to stable.
No issues with boot, test passed
