Oops. I grabbed this from the first patch file in the series.
I renamed the branch in case it's helpful:
	 boundary-imx_3.0.35_4.0.0-plus-vivante-4.6.9p11.1

If so, then we'll want them segregated into separate branches or the
patch files conditionally applied, right?

Right now, gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-3.5.7-1.0.0-hfp.bin only supports hard
float. Will the EABI (4.0.0) binaries continue to be supported or
will there be a corresponding package of EABI binaries?
