One other thing is Freescale's Android BSP has a kernel tree of more patches than this, and not all those additional patches are Android related. So they do have multiple versions of the kernel, and we may also need to figure out the best baseline for our evaluation.
Very good point, I wasn't aware of that.
I would think that the best way forward here is to make the Android tree a superset of the regular tree, and then separate the changes from the Android tree into one extra branch.
Once that is done, the Android branch can be split up into strictly Android related changes and changes that should instead live in a different branch.
