Hi!

I have a Raspberry Pi 1B, 1B+ and 2B and I'd love to test Debian's 4.4 kernel 
for it. At least it is/was my understanding that the versatile kernel is meant 
for the Raspberry Pi. 

But when I (globally) compare config-4.4.0-rc8-versatile with kernel configs 
taken from my Pi's I see HUGE differences. Among them the ones starting with 
CONFIG_ARCH_ and I also see no difference accounting for the difference 
between the Pi 1 and Pi 2.

Is my understanding of it (completely) wrong? 
Can I use/test the versatile kernel on my Pi? If so, would you like me to look 
out and/or test for specific things? Would I (still) need to use the 
raspberrypi-bootloader(-nokernel) package for the firmware files needed for the 
Pi?

TIA for any answers,
  Diederik

PS: I'm not subscribed to the debian-kernel ML, but will check the ML archive 
regularly. But a CC to me personal would be appreciated.
