Brief update.

I have RSEL7 working on a DreamPlug. The same image should work
without modifications on other kirkwood devices.

The minimal image size will likely require at least a 4GB
storage device. The old image was tuned to fit into 1GiB
but this is far too impractical. I had to stretch it to 2GiB
just to copy the kernel modules for 3.10.90 kernel across
(nearly 814MB in /lib/modules/3.10.90-kirkwood, I kid you
not).

The main thing that still remains to be done at this stage
is building a suitable kernel rpm. While it would be possible
to modify F18's kernel src.rpm, this includes patches and
is based on a really bizzare method of putting the source
together from a base 3.10.0 kernel plus incremental
patches. I think there are more sensible ways to handle
kernel rpms.

More over the next few days.
