Arndale kernel is currently not coming from linux-linaro so using linux-linaro for Arndale may be at risk.
Start with server image for host and decide what needs to be added. Need to decide what to use for guest image.
[fboudra, 2013-02-04] Arndale kernel is coming from linux-linaro. It's a topic branch maintained by Samsung LT. The kernel oops is now fixed.
[riku-voipio, 2013-02-19] KVM topic and arndale specific fixes are in linux-linaro. kernel config changes still needed.
[jcrigby, 2013-2-21] marking the hypervisor tast DONE. Need to revisit the idea of a platform independent u-boot patch later.
