adding compass functionality would add very little to the cost and be
quite useful.  It's the difference between usung an invensense
MPU-6050 6 axis or an MPU-9150 9 axis sensor.  an altimeter would be
nice as well.  I'd be interested in just how you intend to provide
mini-PCI-e on the bone but I don't see how it's needed for 3G-LTE or
GPS interfacing to the bone.  most of those modules are serially
controlled and where sound comes into play the bone has i2s and audio
serial port abilities that can either drive a dac/listen to an adc or
even speak directly to some modules over asp/i2s.
