Announcement =============
As announced previously, I'm taking over this project and am replacing David Zinman, who is still keeping an eye on the project to ensure the smooth transition.
Development ============
Big.LITTLE MP is following a two-track development:
1. A Reference (stable) patchset:
https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git%3Ba=shortlog%3Bh=refs/...
2. And an upstream (work in progress) patchset:
https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git%3Ba=shortlog%3Bh=refs/...
Both branches are now merged with linux-linaro branch.
Automated benchmarking code is ready (reviewing), permissions to be added.
- Authentication is being added to the API. - Still having dependency on Android/LAVA teams.

There is an idea of merging patches with Alex's ones. Discussion is ongoing (there are certain concerns).
A lot of testing on big multicore systems is required - talking to IBM and Canonical to use their x86 big systems.
