=== Highlights === * Synced with GregKH on plans for adding some android patches to staging.

* Reworked Android ashmem patches so they could be included in staging. Sent out for review to Greg and Android team. Got some feedback from Arve, and am working to address his concerns.

* Worked out what other Android patches were necessary to get the staging kernel up and running with ICS (luckily, its only one more patch in addition to the ashmem changes).

* Starting looking at requirements to get Android alarm-timer driver (and the pending patches I have to simplify the driver and make it use the upstreamed posix alarm timer code) into staging.

* Sent mail to Andrey Konovalov with overview of the old linaro+android kernel maintenance process, and my understanding of the new goals around linaro kernel tree maintenance going forward.

* Due to the shortened schedule this month, released an initial 11.12 Linaro+Android kernel so there is something to work with while Andrey ramps up to speed.

=== Plans === * Continue working to get ashmem patches for staging reviewed and acked by Android team. Push resulting queue to Greg.

* Continue looking at android alarmtimer driver for staging. It requires the wakelock patches, so either I cut out wakelocks or wait for some form of wakelocks to go upstream.

* Look into what other bits from the Android patch set could possibly go into staging.

* Address the SCHEC_MC option getting dropped from android defconfigs.

* Try to send the timekeeping locking changes to tglx.

=== Issues ===

* None.
