For the record, I maintain a small branch[1] based on the latest
mainline, containing fixes only, and not dragging the whole of -next
into an already fairly unstable kernel. Most things do work (including
s2r), apart from USB3, external display, and some of the sound stuff.
Crucially, kexec is now functional, allowing the kernel to be used as a
bootloader...
