staging: Android updates

Hi Greg,
Just wanted to send along some Android updates to the staging-next tree
so they can be queued for 3.4. I've pulled these from the common/android-3.3 branch, and made only some minor changes to keep everything in the staging dir and to avoid compile issues on x86.

The patches can be browsed over here:

thanks

Ick, I really don't like git pull requests for staging tree stuff at the moment. Besides, you didn't sign your pull request, so I couldn't take it anyway :)

Can you just send these in email using 'git send-email' instead? That works with my workflow very easily.

This is especially going to be an issue as some of these patches conflict with others I just applied in the past 24 hours, and I can fix them up by hand easier using individual patches in email.

thanks,

Sure. I can use git-send-email.

thanks

What are the differences between mtdoops/ramoops and ram_console? My research showed they had different ways of saving the memory, but didn't very similar things.
