Regarding the exynos kernel srpm, i am working on that as time permits.
Still not sure how to handle the install of the kernel from the rpm. I
guess for now let the user manually sign & pack with vboot-utils. The
location of the chromium boot partition is unpredictable. Maybe setup a
file in /etc/sysconfig/ with parameters.

Vboot-utils should be accepted soon once my sponsor reviews the package BZ.

Agree with ain't broke don't fix. :-P
