Out of town Monday, then out sick most of Thursday and Friday, so not a
whole lot got done.

* LWN Article on alarm timers was published:
https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/
* Got some good discussion in the comments going.
== Config Work ==
* Created First pass Kconfig fragments for imx51, vexpress and omap3, as
well as a distro Kconfig.
* Working to minimize the difference between the kconfig fragments and
the current Linaro config files.

* Synced with Jesse about shipping a Panda board to me for testing with
the Android kernel. Should be on its way.

=== Activity ===
==== hardware-n-kernel-standard-architecture ====
* Still waiting for acks/tested-bys on one of the omap3/4
Thumb-2 compatiblity patches. Reposted for feedback.
* Some upstream discussion regarding some gas problems with
pc-relative instructions. Currently, no upstream fix is
imminent, and it looks unwise to expect one quickly.
* Pushing a workaround patch for adr to alkml, but Russell is
currently unhappy with it (somewhat understandably).
==== miscellaneous ====
* Spent a day or so trying to get some u8500 boards up and
running in the validation lab. It looks like we will need
to reflash U-Boot on both boards -- I have the necessary
resources from the ST-E guys; will try next week.
* linux-linaro-2.6.38 now dies during boot with an imprecise
external abort -- maybe related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+bug/720055
=== Plans ===
* Try and reflash U-Boot on the validation lab u8500 boards
* Set up Freescale boards in validation lab.
* Write up the output from the Freescale i.MX BSP review
discussion, and post for comment.

Hi,
Just tested the imx51 Thumb-2 kernel on efikamx here -- it boots fine,
but we only went as far as the initramfs.
Is anyone currently relying on CONFIG_LATENCYTOP? If so, we should
investigate what the incompatibility is...
Cheers
---Dave
