Tracking kernel 2.6.32 for OMAP3

Recently I am thinking about update kernel to 2.6.32 for 0xdroid.
Currently the kernel for 0xdroid is based on 2.6.29 tracking AOSP's kernel tree. But we see there seems some new improvement introduced for OMAP3 platform, like including Graphics, a restructured patch set of DSS2 by Tomi, and updated EHCI hcd (USB 2.0) and USB OTG.

Actually the effect of changing kernel form 2.6.29 to 2.6.32 for 0xdroid project is not huge, but we expect updated USB EHCI can get the real stability and 0xlab's kernel can be suitable for more devices. Besides this, 0xdroid's kernel should start to follow up 2.6.32 branch of AOSP's omap kernel tree as well. It looks the force of development has been migrated to 2.6.32 branch already.
