Not yet... I've tried 4.7.0-040700 on a 64GB arm64 system with no
failures.  I've also tried 4.4.0-33.52 on a 32GB ARM64 system with no
failures.

Currently trying 4.4.0-21.37 on the 32GB system and 4.4.0-34.53 on the
64GB system.  I initially saw this on  4.4.0-31.50 on both systems, so
I had expected 21.37 to fail immediately, but it's survived two passes
so far. :/
