=== Activity Summary ===
 * proc-info refactoring patches pulled by Russell for the next merge window

 * Experimental merge of LPAE/Cortex-A15 support with linux-linaro-2.6.39
pushed to git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git
arm/linux-linaro-2.6.39+ael

 * Merge of the same patches with upstream pushed to
git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git arm/upstream+ael

 * Booted a linaro-developer image on the ARM fast model, using both kernels.
Seems to work stably, including with 4GB RAM configured.

 * Spent tome time debugging a kernel memory corruption bug
when booting with certain RAM configurations on the A15 model,
but it looks like that was caused by a model configuration issue and
is not a kernel bug after all.

=== Plans ===
 * Check  whether the new kernel trees work in Thumb-2 on mx51evk
  and follow up with Freescale landing team.

 * Suggest  we  disable  aligment fixups for linaro images, since
  gtk-sharp2 is now the only thing known to be affected.

=== Work Items ===
kernel-arch-cortexa15-initial-support:
 * Rebase ARM's AEL tree on to linux-linaro-2.6.39 and publish: DONE
 * Rebase ARM's AEL tree on to linux-linaro-3.0 and publish: INPROGRESS
