Dave, Not sure if you noticed in the IRC logs so here is what happened for the packaged release.
Pulled latest linux-linaro-2.6.38 that has your patches. Fixed arch/arm/mach-omap2/Makefile to allow smc instructions in arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S Disabled CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT. The resulting kernel builds and boots but some modules have problems: $ modprobe fat fat: unknown relocation: 102 FATAL: Error inserting vfat So if we had deployed this kernel we would have images that are not upgradeable since we need access to the fat partition to install new uImage and uInitrd. On the positive side we did get some testing and know there is at least one module relocation problem.
