I started from the "make exynos_defconfig" and working towards something
that is closer to the fc20 configuration. There are a couple drawbacks
with this configuration. The usb3 and wireless are not working in the
configuration. Also cool things like KVM virtualization are not working.

are exclusive. The ARCH_EXYNOS also selects NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H which looks
like there might be some arch specific includes as a result.

I did some more digging around this weekend to figure out why enabling
LPAE on the 3.11-rcNN chromebook crashed. I found that the
virtualopensystms kernel had the following patch:
https://github.com/virtualopensystems/linux-kvm-arm/commit/32682304c9935d...
Applying this patch to the 3.11-rcNN kernel allow building a kernel with
LPAE and KVM enabled.
