I took KIRKWOOD as an example, that part should not be found on that
patch, that adds basic armhf support. We are still discussing about
which should be the right subarchitecture, most likely mx5.

sha names are from Sascha's for-rmk tree, so those should get into
mainline soonish. The rest are Arnaud Patard patchset for nettop and
smarttop. There is bare support for nettop on 2.6.38, we could enable
that, but we would like to have a working kernel at debian-ports at
the moment, that can probably be at unreleased suite.

I am testing different configurations at the moment, some of them just
don't boot, but some other boot. It is somehow spartan to deal with
cascading configuration files when doing development.
How do you think we could proceed on this topic?
I am not sending patches as those are still work in progress.
Best regards,
