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.

Right now it looks like they 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/32682304c9935dd0aa55ee9196429d0955f26fa1

Applying this patch to the 3.11-rcNN kernel allow building a kernel with LPAE and KVM enabled.
