This needs an updated configuration file as well, which I've been doing
manually using "make oldconfig".  The package code looks for a
configuration file in:

  gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/<MAJOR-MINOR-VERSION>-<ARCH>.conf

Since there is no such file for version 4.11, I guess maybe it will just
use a default configuration from upstream?  I expect this will likely
cause people some problems.

I think we should revert this until I can perform the update in my usual
way, unless someone wants to take over maintenance of the kernel
packages from me.

Sorry I didn't noticed that, I was too impatient to get 4.11 that fixes
boot related issues on one of my machines.

Feel free to revert.

Agreed, thank you reverting quickly. I apologize for pushing this
without comparing it against earlier commits of the same type.
