Thanks Robert. That sounds like a good plan.

I am contemplating moving from 3.8.x to 3.13.x kernels due to the
apparent improvement in USB support. I am confused, however, as to
the state of device trees/overlays and their relationship with capes.
It appears to me that 3.8.x kernels use device tree overlays
managed by an internal kernel cape manager, whereas 3.13.x kernels
handle capes using Robert Nelson's "Really Simple Cape Manager" to
patch and recompile the base BBB device tree.
My questions are:
a) Are the above assumptions correct?
b) Will the 3.8.x cape manager be ported to 3.13.x kernel or is
RCN's rscm here to stay.
sadly, it only works for 'simple' things.
c) Any other pointers?
I might have some free time this weekend..
The path i'm going to start heading for v3.13.x/v3.14.x is just to do
separate major cape dtb's..
So in u-boot: fdtbase=am335x-bone or am335x-boneblack
cape=xzy (defined in uEnv.txt (lcd4-a1/etc))
Then it'll just load:
$fdtbase-$cape.dtb
on bootup..
