[fedora-arm] Criteria for adding new ARM boards to F20 support list

[Omalley_s]

Just a suggestion, two developers with the actual board in hand for testing and qa purposes. The reason for two I simply sometimes a single developer can't keep up for personaland maybe there should be a "working group".   

The should be a working but not officially supported cat catagory, and a works but not officially supported.l

Hi everybody,

In today's ARM meeting in #fedora-meeting-1 we started the discussion on 
the procedure for supporting new ARM devices in Fedora 20.  Previously 
this was done in an ad-hoc manner by the ARM team.  While we will 
continue to enable as diverse a set of devices as possible, this is 
specifically about what devices are considered supported in a GA 
release.  As an example, in Fedora 19 we supported the Trimslice, but 
not the AC100, even though they are both Tegra 2 devices and in theory 
may both work.  Many unsupported devices may work, but only a select few 
can be release blockers.

Starting in Fedora 20 / kernel 3.11, we think the following devices may 
be newly supportable:

Calxeda Midway with LPAE

Wandboard (i.MX6)

Utilite (i.MX6)

AC100 (Tegra 2)

BeagleBone Black & White

More than anything, this is about minimum requirements for QE.  Support 
implies testing, release blocking, etc, so growing the matrix needs to 
approached cautiously.  There is also a question of timing- what is the 
cutoff for adding a new release blocking device? Alpha? Beta?  Is it a 
feature request?  Feedback appreciated.
