 Replying to [ticket:7813 cjb]:
 > We don't have a good way to virtualize builds since switching to
 2.6.24+, since qemu/kvm/etc don't emulate 3dnow and the kernel refuses to
 boot on them.  Choices:

 >  * get a separate kernel build for ext3

 I don't know that this is the right long-term approach as I may want to
 run an ext3 image
 directly on an XO via USB or SD. We need a separate ext3 image that pulls
 in this kernel
 vs the ext3 image meant for use on XO.
