I have moved to running the vanilla mainline linux-3.11-rcN kernel on

The config file is a bit different than the fc20 kernel configuration. I started from
the "make exynos_defconfig" and working towards something that is closer to the
fc20 configuration. There are a couple drawbacks with this configuration. The usb3 and
wireless are not working in the configuration. Also cool things like KVM virtualization
are not working.
I was hoping to get the kernel to configure to support multiple ARM processors, but it
looks like some patches will be needed to allow the ARCH_EXYNOS to be selected with
ARCH_MULTI. Right now it looks like they are exclusive. The ARCH_EXYNOS also selects
NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H which looks like there might be some arch specific includes as a
result.

I did some more digging around this weekend to figure out why enabling LPAE on the
3.11-rcNN chromebook crashed. I found that the virtualopensystms kernel had the following
patch:
https://github.com/virtualopensystems/linux-kvm-arm/commit/32682304c9935d...
Applying this patch to the 3.11-rcNN kernel allow building a kernel with LPAE and KVM
enabled.
