I'll take a close look at the kernel patches over the next day
or two. I am set up to cross-compile that, so it is mostly a
question of the required settings for Fedora. Is there a minimum
allowed kernel version? As in, nothing older than 3.xxx? I ask
because I tried a 2.6.34.9 kernel with F17 on my Ionics, and got
lots of errors from udev and systemd.
Also, is there a preferred procedure for bootstrapping initramfs?
I assume the best way is to unpack an existing one, replace any
kernel modules, and repack. I don't see a way to run dracut in
a cross-environment (i.e. from an x86).

I havent tried, but its possible to run fedora arm inside qemu, its
probably slow, but seems to work.
