WRT a new kernel .. the 3.18.x kernel has been selected to be maintained
as an LTS until Jan 2017.  I think we should start work on rebuilding
this kernel and using it in the x4c projects.

Thoughts?

I will grab this kernel and try to roll in all the patches, etc. and see
if I can make it work.

Thanks,
