Wrong answer!!!
Many embedded devices can't upgrade kernels easily because of
customer requirements and certifications. For example, I have worked
on Linux based applications in the financial industry. A kernel
upgrade here is viewed as equivalent to switching from Windows XP to
Vista, and requires significant effort in certification testing from
the customer's perspective. This doesn't make economic sense for
either party.
Often developers not working in the embedded space don't understand
this reality.
Helpful responses on what does/does not work would be more
appreciated.

you'll have better luck asking on the arm kernel mailing lists. they
process this stuff every day.
