We uploaded a newer v4.9 based Zesty kernel to the archive:

[[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/4.9.0-11.12 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/4.9.0-11.12]]

This has been promoted to the release pocket. Please test and let us know your results. We anticipate we'll eventually converge on a v4.10 based kernel for Zesty.
