Wikipedia says that current Debian 8.2 Jessie is based on kernel3.16.0, so I was wondering when a native version based on kernel 4.xwould be released and if the live kernel patching will be there asfeature with the 4.x.I searched for a Debian roadmap on Google, but I found nothing aboutthe kernel.
When will Debian switch to Linux 4.x? ( and support the live kernel patching ? )

While it is still not a given, officially most probably the last quarter of 2016, with the release of Debian 9. In the meanwhile, you can start using testing, compile it yourself or using a version compiled by someone else. I am using armbian in a Raspberry Pi like-device (Lamobo R1), which is Jessie, and using a v4.x put together by the armbian guys. On my Intel servers at work I plan to go soon to v4 too with Debian 8.
