I managed to root the latest kitkat for regular M96 using both Kingo Root and KingRoot. In both cases I used the PC installer.

SuperSu-Me pro didn't work for KingoRoot, but the free version removed Kingo and switched it to SuperSu. Problem is the non-free version is temporary.

Kingo installs things on its own, it seems, so I ultimately wiped the device and reflashed, then tried KingRoot via PC installer (the apk version would die at 50% and fail).

With KingRoot installed SuperSu-Me PRO ($6) was able to then strip KingRoot from the system and switch me over to SuperSu. Now I have root, xposed, and a bunch of system apps uninstalled, and a bunch of apps I couldn't install on 4.0 (ICS).
