Whiteboard

[ChunsangJeong Oct 19 2011]
Lot of git merge problem happened when mering Marek's patches to Linaro kernel; needs find a right way to merge dma-mapping patches to Linaro git by getting help from git expert.
Move work items related to Origen board with landing team, which isn't based on Linaro kernel at first time. If it's verified then all the patches would be moved to Linaro kernel.
[ChunsangJeong Oct 24 2011]
Moved "merging patches" to backlog.

Headline: Improving dma-mapping APIs for Unified Memory Management.

Acceptance: dma-mapping-v3 released from Marek, rebased and bug-fixed for linux kernel 3.1-rcX.
