Ah, one more thing: You need to pass a new variable to the kernel upon
startup: "mx31lite_baseboard=1". This was done in order to split module
code from baseboard code.
In case you're using the 2-stage loading mechanism, you need to teach
this to your first-stage loader.
Also make sure you're downloading the full image to RAM from LoLo. The
new kernel is certainly bigger than the version you currently use.
