Create a plan for testing big.LITTLE
Initial testing will focus on kernel stability under ubuntu, but eventually android images should be available. Also, we should, at some point expect to have a mechanism for switching manually, and a way to tell which mode the system is running in. Additionally we want to cover some performance testing as well, and there should be instrumentation to help us figure out how long it takes to switch. Useful workloads should be defined for testing.

[pwlars, 2012-02-23] Moved to 2012.03
[le-chi-thu, 2012-02-24] The draft is done. No further work will be done by me until the big.LITTLE project find out how to continue with the test plan and the resources needed.
[fboudra, 2012-08-03] Chi Thu, please update the work items to reflect what you have done and delivered. Headline/Acceptance should be updated.
[pwlars, 2012-03-08] I basically took over delivery for this recently, so I'll get it cleaned up now
