Hi, I'm currently running 4.12.0-2-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 8 16:22:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux which I installed from the "staging" repo and using the kyber scheduler, which I can set by echoing that string into /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler. I haven't tested 4.12.4 in testing, but when I boot in 4.12.3 it crashes if I have set the scheduler to kyber by passing elevator=kyber as a kernel parameter. I will capture the stack trace if you can tell me how or where that log is.
This task depends upon

The net installed size change for both 4.12.3 and 4.12.4 is about 9mb. I'm afraid to install 4.12.4 for fear it will render my system once again unbootable, but I will if someone thinks it will fix the problem. Right now I am able to use 4.12-2 fine.

Edit:
I should note at least in the mainline/stable kernel elevator is not deprecated but it will only set the none multique scheduler.
So at least in mainline/stable elevator could set cfq/noop/deadline if you are using multiqueue you will need to use other means
to set mq-deadline/kyber/bfq/none see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/block?h=v4.12&id=b86dd815ff74ab9eda474d1c28428ac0db2c3032
