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.

Hi Daryl

This kernel is not for general use.  This information is more to help developers avoid the issues that I encountered when building a mainstream kernel to try performance tools on. There are a number of things not working with this kernel configuration/build:

-usb3
-sound
-wireless

Right now the nv-uboot being used doesn't really allow for an initramfs, so a number of things that should be modules are being compiled into the kernel so that the machine boots up. I am hoping that in the near future there will be a nv-uboot that is closer to what fedora expects (allows ext4 and initramfs).
