Recent devices are using "flipped model" that is ubuntu is booted from
the initramfs, and then lxc container is started to boot the minimal
android system we need to bring up the rest of the hardware support.
The details are sparse and it's easiest to look into existing devices
grouper/mako/maguro/manta which do use it. I had a chat with stephane,
I think I'll be able to use exactly the same boot process as system
images. I'll keep this mailing list posted on my progress.

Dmitrijs.
