Nice point there about support for Ext filesystems, and especially Ext4.
I see that there was a SoC project which implemented partial support
for Ext3. Is there a document which lists the features not implemented

Filesystem support would be easier for me than ACPI, as I can can
easily test it out in VMs! :)
