Linaro kernel standard architecture and Hardware support

Note - work item assignments are currently provisional and may change.

Items discussed at LDS 11.11 which need TSC discussion. These may be acted on in a future cycle:

Follow up with KVM community in regards to KVMtool, see what they have and if we should pull it into our side: TODO
Have follow up discussion regarding hypervisor interface (Arnd, Will, ?): TODO
Linaro to find out who to follow up with re TrustZone/security environment interface standardisation (GlobalPlatform, ARM, ... ?): TODO
Raise for discussion by TSC and partners - TrustZone/security environment iterface standardisation/integration: TODO

Work items:
[dave-martin-arm] to document what he needed to do get Thumb-2 kernel working for a new SoC: TODO
[dave-martin-arm] to follow up with each landing team to find some one to implement Thumb-2 for each remaining SoC: TODO
[dave-martin-arm] follow up to see if Versatile Express can be built in thumb2 by default in Linaro kernels -- cmarinas says it works: TODO
run comparitive benchmark of ARM/Thumb-2 kernel using lmbench: TODO
[dsaxena-linaro] follow up with infrastructure team about tracking code-size metrics for linaro kernel builds: TODO
[tixy] complete kprobes for Thumb-2: TODO
[dave-martin-arm] investigate whether breakpoints facility in perf userspace tool is broken (assuming that sizeof(unsigned long) == sizeof(instructions)): TODO
[tixy] Check whether work is needed to get kgdb working with Thumb-2: TODO
Check whether perf jump labels (CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL) need work for Thumb-2 (maybe follow up with the maintainer Jason Baron): TODO
[tixy] to reproduce/report/fix the thumb2 relocation problems he encountered when loading modules: TODO
