Greetings,
Enclosed you'll find a link to the agenda, minutes and actions from the Linaro kernel working group weekly meeting of December 13, 2010.

== Summary == * Reviewed Freescale BSP. Many drivers are close to being upstreamable. * eMMC performance improvement, initial numbers shows 5% performance gains for large writes and 10% performance gains for large reads. * USB patches for 8500 have been accepted into Greg KH's tree, and Felipe Balbi's tree. * u-boot is in the final phases of the 2010-12 release. Patch from last week (environment code would incorrectly report correctable errors) accepted in mainline. * Working RTC issues: timer list and timer queue which are precursors to getting the Android alarms upstreamed. Patches in -tip slated for 2.6.38. LWN article for timers and alarms. * Working IRQ code in core code in support of virtual IRQ. Working on QEMU model of Versatile Express and the Nvidia Tegra (Serial port and eMMC). Dusting off u-boot work that John Rigby has done so that device tree is passed correctly to kernel. Kernel configuration management solution in the works -- "Kconfig fragment". Configuration process loads an alternative per-board Kconfig file that sets defaults for Kconfig, and then sets up with the full Kconfig, so that you can have definitions set up for a family of SoCs or boards. * Looked at gitdm tool, considering sending in a patch to list Linaro people as belonging to Linaro instead of to whatever gitdm currently accounts them to. * Finished kexec() blueprint specification, will get it reviewed next. * Progress on RCU priority boosting, additional energy-management tasks and scalability tasks look to be easily handled.
Regards, Mounir

I've not found details of any energy-management tasks details in the link above. Can you elaborate on this a bit?
