As we all know the Goldfish emulator currently runs only on 2.6.x kernel and the 3.4 version that currently in Google's git repository is not working, so to fill that gap I've started a project in github to patch mainline Linux Kernel with the Goldfish emulator code to enable it to run on different kernel versions, I manage to migrate different versions of the kernel up to the latest 3.7.4 code. The migration that I'm embarking on is for the ARM platform not x86 and I've tested the kernel with different version of JellyBean compiled from the repo. The different kernel versions that I've checked in are - 2.6.30.4, 2.6.38.8, 2.6.39.1, 3.0.1, 3.3.1, 3.5.4 and 3.7.4
The compiler that I've used to compiled the kernel is the one provided in the Android Jellybean code (4.4.3). The emulator was able to bootup and run the framework but I've done minimum testing - browsing, app installation and different build in apps. Mouse is working fine except for 3.x versions as they are not working properly but still usable while keyboard is finicky.
