Great!

I think there is no reason to support the old code if we have something
that we want to use going forward, so I would build the latest ofono
with patches, and the kernel linked below, and push that to -devel. Once
we're happy with that, we can push that to non-devel as well.

I guess we should just start adding these to our ofono package at this
point.
