using a skylake kernel on a kaby lake CPU should be fine, right?

@izzy IMO, should be totally fine. Kaby Lake isn’t much more than a node refinement and the addition of the SGX extension. I doubt it would cause issues.

@maddy sweet
only got the one kaby lake machine but two skylakes so I might just lump it in with skylake to avoid building a kernel for one machine

@izzy Makes sense to me. You’d be more likely to run into issues going the other way around, but the architectures are so similar, so probably not even then.

@maddy @izzy Skylake had SGX too. I don't think Kaby Lake introduced any extensions at all

@noisytoot @izzy Oh heck, my mistake. I thought that was introduced with 7th gen/Kaby Lake, but my memory is a little fuzzy.
