Notes:
Fix ncurses behaviour in console to always get readable output (broken on Pandaboard Android) NOT REQUIRED This behavior is only seen in minicom. When using putty there are no problems.
The sanity check cannot be done until kernel configs are changed which will not be done before 11.09 component deadline.
Propose new BP for 11.10 to check values now that the program is stable. Could be deferred to PMWG.
Fix powertop that is broken on Intel on linaro branch to enable upstreaming (lower prio) POSTPONED Upstreaming is not part of the spirit of this BP. Suggest discussion and possible new BP.
