Thanks for the info William.
Great work, as usual. =)
Regarding the loading an initrd, that is high on my priority list to solve.
It might be a problem with the kernel, or u-boot... too early to say for sure.
Might be unrelated, but I think this is similar to what we are seeing
with omap4.
The 3.11 kernel is happy with 'bootm kernel - fdt', but sad with
'bootm kernel initrd fdt'.
Could be a coincidence.

Hi Daryl
This kernel is not for general use. This information is more to help developers avoid
the issues that I encountered when building a mainstream kernel to try performance tools
on. There are a number of things not working with this kernel configuration/build:
-usb3
-sound
-wireless
Right now the nv-uboot being used doesn't really allow for an initramfs, so a number
of things that should be modules are being compiled into the kernel so that the machine
boots up. I am hoping that in the near future there will be a nv-uboot that is closer to
what fedora expects (allows ext4 and initramfs).
