You are correct, it's primarily a kernel issue.

The good news this has improved with Fedora 26, and should improve
some more for F-26 goes GA.

I was getting around 8 MBps on F-25, on F-26 with the same SD card I
can get around 22-24.

Most of these changes won't be coming to F-25 as it's very fiddly and
time consuming to ensure a clean upgrade path so I'll be focusing on
F-26 in that regard.
