iMedia Linux kernel

    iMedia kernel tree is a patched version of the mainstream kernel used on iMedia Linux distribution and it aims for stability, better desktop performance, and better support for mini-itx and nano-itx boards features like: hardware encryption (AES engines), high resolution timers, random number generators, hardware mpeg and video acceleration, frame-buffer acceleration, alsa sound driver updates, updated pci-ids.
    Performance patches contain a tuned scheduler, low swap usage, low IO latency and selected patches from Andrew Morton -mm tree, Gentoo kernel and kernel git tree.

Note: Patches are applied versus final vanilla kernel versions and must be applied in the order numbered on the patch name. For easier installing/patching use the Gentoo ebuild script.
