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:

       v4.4.256 upstream stable release
       from git://git.kernel.org/

Linux 4.4.256
UBUNTU: upstream stable to v4.4.256

*Note: It is correct that this stable update is effectively "empty" (just updates the version number in Makefile).
