DE5_NET OpenCL support on Ubuntu 16.10

I'm trying to use the OpenCL SDK for the Terasic DE5_Net board. I'm using the BSP provided by Terasic in their website. But I start having (at least) two differences with the expected setup....

Now that AOCL 17.1 support Ubuntu 16.04.2, and the aclpci_cmd.c file uses get_user_pages_remote for newer kernels,

aocl install still crashed with Ubuntu 16.04.3:

Is it because I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.3 instead of 16.04.2 (rollback seems like a pain in the butt so I haven't try it yet)

Anyone have idea how to solve this? Thanks!
