Openmoko kernel git branch request for Android patched kernel.

[Sean McNeil]

Hi Andy,

I've been at a customer site all day, but will try to send you a patch
in a little while.

1) You don't need YAFFS2. It is used by Android because it is a lot
faster at startup.
2) Goldfish is the device name for the simulated armv5 target used with
qemu to run Android on a host.
3) I'm not sure about signed-off-by issues.

Again, I'll send you a clean patch. It isn't that bad.

Cheers,
Sean
