Thanks for your great material, although I meet some problems in the 
step-by-step
process, and failed at this way to setup mainline kernel environment on 
Exynos chromebooks.

But i do find another way to install mainline kernel to Exynos Chromebook:
1. Install any ChromeOS image into a USB media device (like dd tools)
2. "enable_dev_usb_boot" on Exynos chromebooks which would allowed boot 
from USB.
3. Flash the mainline kernel into the KERNEL-A and KERNEL-B partitions 
on host PC.
4. Insert USB device into Exynos chromebooks, and press CTRL+U, boot 
into USB OS.

And it's better to enable pstore function on mainline kernel, so we can 
analysis the last log when
the mainline kernel crashed. After enable PSTORE_RAM in .config, we 
still need add ramoops node
into file, like:

Aha, I have tested this series on two Exynos Chromebooks that I 
borrowed(Snow and Peach Pit)
with previously method (actually I believed it's a common method without 
broken the original
ChromeOS image).

And I do find the crash place that make you failed at this series, here 
is the diff changes:

Anyway I'm going to send the v6 series, thanks for your good idea.
