Hopefully this new one (3.5.0-209.15 [2]) will be the last one before beta1,
and it should fix the hangs rsalveti experiences with pvr-omap4.

ARM Status

Q/omap4: Ubuntu-3.4.0-202.7 contains a new TI BSP (tilt-tracking @ 44fef05d56961d0f34178e3c7ca4e362948e3107) that fixes the video issue many reported.
A new kernel (Ubuntu-3.4.0-203.8) is already queued and it improves upon the previous one by fixing a wl oops on boot, disactivates the interactive cpufreq governor (that spammed kernel logs with thousands of “kinterative process stuck for more than 120s”) and eliminates /proc/config.gz.
