Bug Description

Just upgraded my beta installation with linux-image-*-4.8.0-17 packages, and noticed immediately that I have no sound. Interestingly, my sound card module wasnt there at all, as well as many others. Just did a simple file list diff on /lib/modules/4.8.0-16-generic/kernel/sound/pci and /lib/modules/4.8.0-17-generic/kernel/sound/pci, and these are definitely missing:

li5451/*
emu10k1/*
snd-als300.ko
snd-azt3328.ko
snd-es1938.ko
snd-es1968.ko
snd-maestro3.ko
snd-sonicvibes.ko
trident/*

What's going on?

This looks like a configuration regression, see bug #1534647. Applied patch 'UBUNTU: [Config] CONFIG_ZONE_DMA=y for generic' which will appear in Ubuntu-4.8.0-19.21
