fwiw, kernel opps is certainly something I can help with..  it is
probably worth pointing out the ##kernel-msm channel (yes, two #'s) on
freenode, as that is a place that you can find folks working on msm
kernel upstreaming (myself, srinik, qcom folks, etc)

I'd assume no graphics is because you don't have a gralloc (or maybe
you do but it is the qcom one for the blob driver)
