ubuntu-r v3.7-rc1 rebase

[Tim Gardner]

The ubuntu-r kernel repository has been rebased against 3.7-rc1. You can
find this repo at git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-r.git. As soon
as I am informed of the adjective for the R release, then I'll rename
the repo while leaving a link from the original ubuntu-r.

I've boot tested this on an amd64 server only, so your desktop mileage
may vary. Attached is a list of commits that didn't make the cut or were
reverted. I'll be reviewing a few of them since I think they may have
already made it upstream albeit in a slightly different form.

Of particular note are the parallel rootfs patches. I bisected an early
boot failure to 'UBUNTU: SAUCE: Make populate_rootfs asynchronous', so I
ripped out the whole series. Unless someone else gets around to it I
probably won't mess with these patches until well into the 3.8 or 3.9
series. Maybe its time to make a serious effort at upstreaming them.

ARM, as usual for an rc1, is a mess. After disabling a half dozen
drivers and features I gave up. Evan after fixing outright compiler
errors, neither omap nor calxeda will link successfully. See my notes in
dropped.txt

There are a boatload of administrative patches that I'll be collapsing,
so you can expect frequent rebases. You can always return to a
(relatively) stable point by checking out one of the tags, e.g.,

git tag|grep Ubuntu
git checkout -f Ubuntu-3.7.0-0.1-rc1

If you'd like to follow along with the tip of master-next:

git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-r.git
cd ubuntu-r
git checkout -b master-next remotes/origin/master-next

Periodically you'll want to update (noting that this will destroy any
local commits on your master-next branch) :

cd ubuntu-r
git checkout -f master-next
git fetch origin; git fetch origin master-next
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD

If you are running i386/amd64 Precise or Quantal you can use the native
compiler to build, e.g.,

cd ubuntu-r
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dpkg-buildpackage -B -us -uc

Sit back, sip your favourite beverage, and listen to your fan howl.
