I tried 4.0 and 3.2 on a Yoga 900, both with UEFI. 4.0 did boot, 3.2 did not. The reason was that the 4.4 kernel could not set the UEFI boot entry. If you did use UEFI make a bootable USB stick with reFind. This is just a UEFI boot loader that will find anything bootable and will boot it.
I had to use an additional Linux installation with a more recent kernel to set the boot entry with efibootmgr. Maybe it works from Qubes if you update to the 4.9 kernel first.
