I'd probably disable CONFIG_OLPC too. I'm planning on submitting a Change for F25 to drop the non-PAE kernel entirely, which will in effect drop OLPC support as well. > (A second order effect is that both CONFIG_VIRTIO and > CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE will change from 'y' to 'm' in our builds. > Assuming a sane build system no one should notice.

Probably OK to disable it for now in any case.
