Clearly these shouldn't go anywhere until the fix is upstream, but since I assume there's a number of distro developers who are likely under pressure to have a fix soon, I wanted to make them available so no one is duplicating work. You can find them here: http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/jstultz/linux.git;a=summary I did boot and test each of those kernels with my leaptest-timer.c test successfully. thanks -john
