What are we planning to do with changes we make to the various Android
repositories we're using?  Ideally we'd like to upstream changes where
possible, but some of them may not be of interest upstream, and/or
we'd want to be able to build with them sooner than the upstream would
accept them, and/or we might need to backport them anyway.  Alternately,
there exists gonk-patches, which works well enough technically, but my
understanding is that we're trying to avoid using it where possible.

So (at least in some cases) we'd need to fork things, and create our own
branches on the Mozilla project's mirrors and push to them, but I don't
know what the process for accomplishing that is, or even if one exists.

Specifically, I don't know what I should be doing to make progress on
bug 870639, which is blocking a lot of my profiling work from being able
to be landed; but, in general, this seems unlikely to be the last issue
of this form that we encounter.
