I'll give it a try, but first have to learn about the armmp stuff. Here is the default kernel configuration for the RPi 2: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-4.4.y/arch/arm/configs/bcm2709_defconfig (which does not seem part of https://sources.debian.net/src/linux/4.4-1~exp1/arch/arm/configs/) > For the RPi's with the older cores it wouldn't seem to make much sense to > enable it in the armel/versatile flavour (because I can't see why it fits > there, despite folks apparently adding it there), but equally I'm not sure > we want to be adding new flavours to armel (which is essentially on the > downward slope of the support lifecycle at this stage).
