Tim, in fact during the call oliver/ricardo mentioned that they would like
to get started at least with a minimal console image based on .38 kernel.
then we need to keep the current .35 based branch for the
linux-image-2.6.35-xxx-omap4 package, and we need to make sure that
linux-image-omap4 pulls this one, but we need a new
linux-image-2.6.38-xxx-omap4 package with this minimal kernel so that anyone
who wants a min console can use it. once we have display support we can
update linux-image-omap4 to depend on the new one.

in the mean time we will need 2 branches in the git tree, ti-omap4-old (for
the .35), and ti-omap4 for the new version.
