After upgrading from Zesty (with Docker installed) to Artful, I noticed
the switch to the lowlatency kernel (since it caused me a little DKMS
pain with the VirtualBox package), but otherwise paid it little mind.
Later I realized that my laptop was constantly freezing up (could not
even move the mouse pointer) when just one process was consuming most of
a single CPU core, which had never been true before. After finding this
issue, I tried booting into the generic kernel (ESC to get the Grub
menu) and then removing the lowlatency kernel (image & headers). So far
so good. Unclear to me whether updating `aufs-tools` at this point would
make any difference, since it sounds like this change would only affect
new upgrades.
