The default kernel works well. I got noticeably better glxgears fps with the default kernel.

Tested kernel 4.14-rc5 on MATE PowerPC Remix with no issues noticed.
I've also been testing distro rebranding following Ubuntu's guidelines for derivative distros with no issues noticed.
I've also upgraded all packages that have been updated in xenial LTS past MPPCR's version, with no issues noticed.
