At Raspberry Pi we've been making good use of overlays for over a year now.
They have been an invaluable tool, allowing us to reduce the need for
downstream code while retaining and extending the flexibility our users
need. Without the circulating patches I would have pressed ahead with a
homegrown equivalent, which would have made switching to overlays much more
painful.

I hope to see Pantelis's overlay configfs code in a kernel release soon,
but until then we'll continue to apply the patches downstream.
