Aha. I thought you meant the in-kernel configuration and branch information.

Yes, those are missing, I was going to get them from the BSP creators,
but instead, I'll send mine along.

It'll be a little while though, I had to clean my builder when changing
PVs, so I need to wait full a full kernel refetch.

ok. I had planned to just leave the compatible machine as 3.10 and leave
the support there, since there are a few people who contact me regularly
and poke with the support.

Is there a place we can put them as a "retirement" home ? versus asking
people to locally restore the support.
