Ok, so we won't remove it then, but I'd like to merge my patches to at least get away from the special case of requiring a separate kernel image for it. Can you try if applying patches 12 and 14 from my series causes problems for you? (it may be easier to apply the entire set or pull from [1] to avoid rebase conflicts).
