What do we miss, besides this BZ, to get Fedora running on the Rappberry Pi 2?

With also Eric Anholt's new VC4 driver[1], that should get us closer
and closer from a fully-supportable Pi 2.

If needed, I just received a bunch of Pi 2 (5 of them), that I'll be
happy to use to test, either within Red Hat premises, or from my
personal internet connection.

That way, we could have Fedora-based Ceph or Gluster (or Hadoop)
demonstrators. Which wouldn't need the VC4 driver anyway.

Regards,

J.
