Yeah, it might be missing something still. That will make it the only
kernel using 4.6.

Also changed the i386 one to use gcc 4.7 instead, to follow the same
compiler version used by AOSP. Once we get the x86 emulator in shape,
we can try to change it to 4.8.

Follows the additional patch-set I had for grouper:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=rsalveti/ubuntu-trusty.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/goldfish

Would you mind pulling it into the official tree and uploading the
newer packages? Would need a new meta as well.
