"next linux operating systems"? Well it's going to be a part of Fedora 25, and likely pushed into Fedora 24 once 4.7 hits EOL. As for Ubuntu, it should be in 17.04, as I think 16.10 is already code frozen and I'm not sure if they upgrade kernels beyond EOL like Fedora does. Likely in all the next release of any other distro.

fedora has rolling kernels, it will be pushed to current fedora after few patch versions(4.8.4 or so)
