I'm in contact with Samsung, but getting them to test a kernel package is
going to be non-trivial; the folks working on this aren't actually Linux
folks. We would need to provide them a complete bootable image to test
with.

If it's possible to push this into precise-proposed without advanced
testing, that would be easiest as we could pick up the daily images from
there.
