[GIT PULL] staging: Android updates

[GIT PULL] staging: Android updates

[John Stultz]

Hi Greg, 
	Just wanted to send along some Android updates to the staging-next tree
so they can be queued for 3.4. I've pulled these from the
common/android-3.3 branch, and made only some minor changes to keep
everything in the staging dir and to avoid compile issues on x86.

The patches can be browsed over here:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/jstultz/android-dev.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/dev/android-staging-updates

thanks

Ick, I really don't like git pull requests for staging tree stuff at the
moment.  Besides, you didn't sign your pull request, so I couldn't take
it anyway :)

Can you just send these in email using 'git send-email' instead?  That
works with my workflow very easily.

This is especially going to be an issue as some of these patches
conflict with others I just applied in the past 24 hours, and I can fix
them up by hand easier using individual patches in email.

thanks,

Sure. I can use git-send-email.

What are the differences between mtdoops/ramoops and ram_console? My 
research showed they had different ways of saving the memory, but didn't 
very similar things.
