Today I got what I presume was the update that should take care of Spectre and Meltdown. That didn't go very well. What do I do now?

I can't boot the 4.4.0-108-generic kernel because of a kernel panic. I'm running 16.04 on an Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz × 4.

Do not install 4.4.0-108-generic on Xenial! It breaks boot/reboot/shutdown/suspend functionality!
Install 4.4.0-109-generic (see USN-3522-3 for details)!
Reboot to the last working kernel and remove 4.4.0-108-generic:
