Changes (by dsd):

  * next_action:  code => test in release


Comment:

 dracut-modules-olpc-0.3.2-1.fc11 ready for next build (TODO: build in
 Fedora once the koji/cvs downtime is over)

 fixes that were needed:
  * fbutil modifications to support 32bpp framebuffer
  * don't attempt mesh activation if there is no mesh hardware
  * let kernel determine fs type of SD/USB media
  * dynamically determine device node for external SD
  * move /security to boot partition, and bind-mount at /security for
 runtime

 I've tested USB and SD activation locally.

 Reuben, I'd greatly appreciate your help testing here, particularly with
 wifi activation from the school server (I can guide you through on IRC). I
 don't have any spare computers that I can turn into an XS right now.
