Synced latest upstreaming version of AA into Maverick.  Marc Deslauriers already hit \

Changes to Firmware Test Suite this week:
  * 7 Additional tests:
     * maxfreq: check CPU freq scaling max frequency against CPU max freq.
     * cstates: measure C states across CPUs and check activity when loaded
     * WMI: inspect DSDT for WMIs and dump out WMI methods and events (for hotkeys).
     * lid: interactive lid event detection test.
  * Other improvements + fixes:
     * klog scanning: use pcre rather than glibc regex.
     * Improved progress feedback (-p, --show-progress).
     * mtrr: check for MTRR config of VGA regions by BIOS.
     * mttr: fix prefetchable region detection bug
     * Add batch or interactive modes of testing.
     * Include 800+ example klog errors to test against.

=== Status: Maverick  ===
We uploaded a last minute linux-2.6.35-6.8 Alpha2 kernel on Sunday to resolve \
[[https://launchpad.net/bugs/597904|Bug 597904]] which was a blocker for building \
Alpha2 arm images.  We will essentially be uploading a 0-day Alpha2 kernel, \
linux-2.6.35-6.9, to  resolve [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/588861|Bug 588861]].  I've \
been given the green light to upload it late Wed.  We currently have it uploaded to \
our kernel-ppa as an interim solution.

All of our team's Alpha2 work items are complete, so good job everyone.  Alpha 3 is \
Thurs Aug 5th which is a little over a month away.  Please review the list of work \
items for Alpha 3:

=== ARM Status  ===
  * Marvel (mvl-dove):
    * Nothing new this week.
  * Freescale (fsl-imx51):
    * Nothing new this week.
  * Texas Instruments (ti-omap):
    * In Maverick, cooloney prepared a branch which includes some ASoC audio and \
                other fixes for git pull.
  * Bugs:
    * cooloney went through the omap bug list, located \
[[https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap|here]]. Closed a bug \
