Bug Description

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
       a minimally backported form of that patch. The following upstream
       stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel:

       v4.4.243 upstream stable release
       from git://git.kernel.org/

    Note: This patch set is empty for xenial because v4.4.243 contained
    only one patch:

        ed3691aa7e4a powercap: restrict energy meter to root access

    The contents of which are already present here via:

        7a1c0417c5111 powercap: make attributes only readable by root
        ^^^ (note also that this should have been "UBUNTU: SAUCE:")
