We're planning on a 3.7 update in F18. The thing is that this is likely
to be a disruptive upgrade as certain platforms (even without a unified
kernel) will need to have a working device tree. Hence, the moment there
is an -rc1 to poke at, we'll make sure this is lined up.

A quick update on the kernel, since I've been giving it love (and will
allocate time each week to do so going forward). I currently believe
that the latest test build fixes everything but USB on PandaBoard (that
issue is likely to be a USB hub initialization problem - there are two
possible GPIOs and one clock source Dave Anders is looking into as the
TI maintainer involved - because the smsc95xx is on an internal bus):

I just need Josh to fix the module signing patch per kernel@
