Since I have the majority of Yx boards for the mobile team (in
preparation to return them), I can do any testing needed for Marvell on
Karmic & Lucid. And I think there may be some Yx series chips in the
field that are capable of running armv6 (karmic) just fine. The OEM
team would possibly know more about that.
I would like to have X0 support in karmic if possible mainly because I
am still trying to get library testing working.

Given that we do not believe we have any users of Karmic mvl-dove at
this time changing the kernel is relativly low risk. Especially as we
know the current kernel it doesn't work for any Marvell Dove kit that is
meant to work, right?
Though we would want to know the new one works. Testers?
