Will we ever get a "vanilla" setup for 4.4 kernels on a non-x86 system? And given the past failures of tests on arm64 only, it's not that good of a comparison benchmark :)
There's plenty of ARM boards that work well upstream for older kernels (even way earlier than v4.4) but unfortunately there was an insistance from the Android point of view on using HiKey as the lead board since it's a public board that's in AOSP.
I should say /the/ public board rather than /a/ public board - it's really the only currently viable option for Android testing, though it's a problem from an upstream point of view in v4.4.
