Chance to update Cubian kernel? #129

Hi cubieplayer!

I'm in a tireless quest, dump 3.4.43+ drivers into sunxi-3.10 experimental kernel and, as we could see in allwinner's kernel mainline efforts, kernel 3.12 has a huge advance in sunxi native support, but lacking nand support, usb, sata and alikes.

The question is, are you working in any 3.1x kernel? As this is an extremely tiring task - and I could prove it myself - it would be nice to give some support if you need.

Basically my plans with a newer Kernel is KVM for ARM support. As Allwinner's A20 SoC supports virt instructions I'm trying to build a 8 cubieboard2 cluster to run redhat-cluster and qemu KVM hypervisor within it, with GFS2 support.

Googleing about newer kernel support I've found this post http://linux-sunxi.org/Cubieboard/Cubieboard_Linux-3.9, very interesting but don't know if there is any cubieboard2 (A20) support. But it worth a try! A I'm trying at this moment.

Well, thanks in advance!
