The beaglebone patchset was rebased for this release so please test.

The first revision of this patch adds support for MMC/sata/serial and
one of the NICs via device tree. I plan to evolve it over the coming
weeks.

This should in theory be fixed with the latest util-linux. Please test!

The issue with v8 is we're stuck on 3.14.x due to nodejs, mongodb and
possibly chromium. Aarch64 support was added upstream in a much later
release, 3.25.x I believe. Not sure if there's plans to rebase at some
point.

And in theory AMD Seattle if you're lucky enough to have such as device

YES!! This has caused us a quite a bit of heartache and me and others
a lot of time because people focus on their individual device and now
how it impacts ARM as a whole.
