Experimental Linux 4.17.1 build #0613x: RPi / RPi2

This is an experimental 4.17.y release to get an idea of how it performs, discover any (unknown) issues, and will inform our decision whether to continue with 4.14.y or switch back to a mainline kernel for the LE9 release.

Well I would prefer the mainline kernel. I mean why should you stuck with the LTS one when there are some major improvements in the current one (i.e. better gpu driver, less watts)?

Under my Raspi 3 I can tell so far, that
- Amazon VOD'S works, GUI seems to be quicker/ huge GUI speed bump
- Amazon App (with local DB) doesn't work at all:
    Menu loop (never lists movies or plays em, I stuck in the movie or series menu "genre, new arrived, years, et cetera)
    DB Update not possible (Alert again)
- Zattoo HiQ works, semms like same speed bump in the GUI like Amazon VOD
- MediathekVIew works, Live Stream seems to load kinda slower, but not annoying
- 7TV-Live works, same speed bump like Zattoo HiQ and Amazon VOD
- Access to a SMB-Share under linux with SMBv1 only. If you lift up the protocol version to v2 or v3 you get a failure like "(Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)" or "protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE"


To sum up:
I like the test build with kernel 4.17 and would love to see more builds of it in the future . Good job @Milhouse
