Phablet Kernel Maintenance

== Session Summary ==
1. Announce target device(s) to prototype phablet kernel maintenance model
    1a. Initially target Nexus 7 since the device is readily available within the team and we also have a general source and package base to start with via the desktop images for the Nexus 7.
    1b. We will prototype the maintenance recipe for the Nexus 7 and then look to replicate it with a Nexus 4

2. Current status for Nexus 7 phablet kernel support
    2a. We have rebased our Nexus 7 kernel against the phablet Cyanogenmod based kernel. This kernel seems to work ok pretty well for the Ubuntu images thus far. The default configs were pushed a little more 'default' wrt to the default settings we use.
    2b. Following feedback from the config review, we will coordinate with rsalveti to get the builds pointing to our kernel git repo as well as getting this uploaded to the official Ubuntu archive.

3. How will the userspace side of flashing this kernel look like? Can we use the ubuntu flash-kernel way or something else?
    3a. Currently we don’t have any support for this in the phablet images. Currently we are using aboot-tool to generate the specific boot image and dd it on. We use the android partition table, mmc0p2 is the boot image partition. It sounds like the ubuntu kernel model could work well. We need to investigate to confirm. We are unsure how we could support random community devices with the ubuntu model though.

4. Discussed issue with some of the android drivers being very broken in that they do not play well with 'standard' ubuntu userspace. Regulatory support and other iw parts do not work correctly as we stand. They rely on a hacked userspace to handle the brokenness. Do we have a plan for this? (This is the first the kernel team is hearing of this issue.) Are we planning on keeping the delta for wpa supplicant or getting the kernel components sorted. This may be fixable for specific devices but it is likely to be a problem area for any community ports in the near term.

5. Support model for this kernel will be a best effort since these kernel are proof of concept prototypes

6. Nexus7 kernel config review
    6a. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/configs/raring/reviews/uds-13.03/n7initial-issues.html
    6b. look to enable filesystems crtypo et al
    6c. care to not disable things which are 'y'
    6d. bluetooth to be ignored
    6e. n7: grouper is the basis for the devices
