Yes AFAIK the plan is to add the minimum set of necessary patch to get
it working decently in headless mode. My plan is to prepare a git-tree
with the necessary patches on top of 3.14-rc1 during the coming days,
and then send a mail to kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a link to
my personal repo for review, and if there is no negative reviews after
waiting a couple of days, push the patches into the rawhide kernels.

Regards,

Hans
