Would it be possible to add the smartmax_eps powersave governor from the nexus4 taurus kernel? So far everything is running fine here, thank you

---

Can I use this Kernel in based CM13 ROM's like (RR, Temasek, CrDroid) or CM13 only?

This Kernel work on any ROM MarshMallow 6.0.x

One more question @TechnoAnder, I'm very noob in this topic... I'm downloading the Temasek's CM13 ROM to test it, can I flash the Kernel right after flash the ROM + Gapps or just after the ROM is totally configured (boot + optimizing apps)?
Sorry my English and thanks for the help.

Just you must install the ROM and GApps, reboot normally and when you set all reboot into TWRP and flash the Kernel.

Can I use this kernel with stock based 6.0 Marshmallux rom?

@TechnoAnder, could you make the voltage settings configurable by apps, like kernel adiutor?

Use squids kernel from r13 on. This one doesnt have the necessary changes. Squid took the moto g kernel sources to make it compatible with stock. or wait until they are merged here
