Prototyping of Galaxy Nexus Support
We need to add support for the Galaxy Nexus phone into LAVA. The main thing we need from this technically is a new target implementation in the dispatcher. The total amount of work will probably span two cycles. This blueprint is mostly in place to perform the initial investigation and protyping. The follow-up work to this should result in code merged and a phone deployed.
