FIRMWARE:
=========
see config-3.10.0.diff
+- enable CONFIG_CEPH_FS=m (request from user)
+
- enable common CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XXX to avoid hardware detection
problems (udev, undate-initramfs hav serious problems without that)
This is disabled in RHEL kernel for no real reason, so we enable
it as requested by users
+- enable CONFIG_BCACHE=m (requested by user)
+
- enable CONFIG_BRIDGE=y
Else we get warnings on boot, that
