Zach reminded me that this month is compressed, so a linaro+android
kernel would be needed immediately for 11.12.  As Andrey is just ramping
up in taking over for the Linaro Android kernel maintenance, I wanted to
just get a kernel out, using the older kernel workflow, so that we had
something current for 11.12. 

Anyway. This is straight from Andy Green's
linaro-androidization-tracking branch, with a few small build fixes
added on that I found in my testing and the base android_*_defconfig
files.

You can find the tree here:
git://android.git.linaro.org/kernel/linaro-android.git 
linaro-android-3.2-agreen-rebase

The current sha is tagged as: linux-linaro-3.2-2011.12-0-android-0

Known issues:
There seems to be something in the androidization branch that is causing
problems on beagle xm and origen. In my testing beagle xm kernel ends up
hanging in mid-boot(after ~4 seconds).  And the orgien board doesn't
show anything past "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel". If
I drop the androidization patches and go back to the v3.2-rc4 base, both
kernels boot until the Android userland environment starts and falls
over because the android features are missing. I mucked about for awhile
on both of these tonight, but wasn't able to solve either of them, so
I'd appreciate any help trying to narrow down what is wrong on Origen
(beagle is apparently lower priority).

Andy, one issue with the re-factored android patch tree: Its not very
bisect-able. If I jump back to a topic branch, frequently there are
missing dependencies that keep it from building. Any thoughts on how we
can better chase down these sorts of issues?

thanks
