Kernel 4.14 is now out, and brief details – including updates from -rc8 – are here:  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1711.1/03305.html

As expected, the latest NVIDIA drivers (384.98 and 387.22) are OK with this release, and VMware 14.0.0 – with the vmmon patch ( see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2090 ) – is OK as well..
