  Q/omap4: porting of tilt-3.4 [1] on top of Q 3.5 is done, i'm 
consolidating the code now.

  The entire patchset is available at

  Right now i'm cleaning up the boot process(WARN_ON()&c), rebasing on 
latest Q/master, importing latest Q/omap4 config changes, etcetc

=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
  We've recently uploaded the 3.5.0-10.10 Quantal kernel to the release
  pocket.  This upload most notably provides a rebase to the first
  upstream stable v3.5.1 release.  This was also uploaded to the
  q-lts-backport [1] PPA to help facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in
  12.04.  We welcome anyone to please install, test, and let us know your
  feedback.
