New release of the LTSI 3.4 kernel from the Linux Foundation Consumer Electronics workgroup.

For those who unfamiliar,The LTSI tree is expected to be a usable base for the majority of embedded systems, as well as the base for ecosystem players (e.g., semiconductor vendors, set-vendors, software component vendors, distributors, and system/application framework providers). The LTSI project
will combine the innovative features in newer kernels needed by CE vendors with a stable kernel, while helping those vendors get their code upstream to benefit the entire Linux community. The goal is to reduce the number of private trees currently in use in the CE industry and encourage more collaboration and sharing of development resources.

Therefore, this week the CE working group has released the LTSI 3.4 kernel. The release is based on the Linux 3.4.25 kernel and includes a number of backported features from newer releases: the Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA), which is extremely useful for embedded devices that have very limited hardware resources and will better handle the large memory requirements of multimedia applications.
CMA functionality was quite limited.

 
AF_BUS, a kernel-based implementation of the D-Bus protocol.
CoDel (controlled delay), a transmission algorithm that optimizes TCP/IP network buffer control, is backported for LTSI 3.4.
Finally the platform specific board support was backported from newer kernel versions, allowing the Armadillo 800, AT91, kzm9d, kzm9g, and Marzen platforms to work properly with this release.
