The testing says this is mostly good with two issues. Firstly, strace ptests are
regressing:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/81/builds/3435
and I suspect:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/82/builds/3188
will too when it finishes.

There was another patch causing other ptest failures so I had to do a second
pass but I think the strace issue above is from a kernel change.

Secondly, qemuarm graphics fails:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/53/builds/5132

I did try adding Jon's other qemuarm patches:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/53/builds/5136

and it still fails. I've not looked further as yet, just reporting what the
varoious combinations of patches in testing showed.

Cheers,

Richard
