Good and bad news here: I've finally managed to run 4.4 (with our patches) on the new Nexus 7.

The bad news: I've had to use their toolchain to do it. With our toolchain, Galaxy Nexus and old Nexus 7 are fine, so chances are the Qualcomm kernel and our compiler don't like each other too much.

I'm currently running another build with our 4.7 toolchain, let's see if it's something we did or something gcc 4.8 did...
