OK note that 3.3 is not listed on kernel.org as supported. I'm fine in
carrying the stuff for those for now but ultimately it'd also be nice
if we didn't even have to test the kernels in between which are not
listed. This does however raise the question of how often a kernel in
between a list of supported kernels gets picked up to be supported
eventually. Greg, Jiri, do you happen to know what the likelyhood of
that can be?
