Hello,

Good to see Armadeus stuff coming into mainline Buildroot!

This should be wrapped at ~80 chars.

Those four options (or at least the first three) are very
user-specific. I don't think they should be part of a default board
configuration file.

Since two kernel patches are needed, you should have a defconfig that
explicitly tells which kernel version it wants:

BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION_VALUE="3.1"

see configs/qemu_* for examples.
