Topic: Linux 4.10 

For myself, I am comfortable to be at 4.9.11-towo on a sid machine.  On sparky I am sedately using kernel 4.9.0-1-amd64 x86_64 from Debian.   I am letting others be the pioneers.

Debian bug #855802 is fixed.  4.10 came through for siduction.  For me "journalctl -b -0" did not show any problems in a virtualbox siduction install and also on an install on an amd c-50 eeebox with siduction. I believe sparky still has siduction in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - so you could get towo's version.  I have no idea if it will work at this point in sparky.
