[Macchiato] Mainstream Linux kernel

[Duncan]

Hi,

Currently running mainline (with Debian Buster test image, that's 4.15
or something, using vendor EDKII image):

In my experience:
	- Removable SD card /does/ get enumerated. The internal eMMC does not
work currently, though (some error about 1.8V vs 3.3V). This is annoying
because I'd rather use the internal 8G eMMC module for the operating
system, then have soft-RAID on the hard drives. Perhaps this will be
fixed in 4.16 or later kernel.
	- The 2,5G SFP+ module is not working.
	- It won't boot from SD card. It will, however, boot from USB3 drive,
or USB3 SD card reader.

It doesn't seem ready for production, but it is better than nothing.

Best,
Duncan
