It's completely different CPU, with different peripherals. So it'll
require kernel support. We will need to pull in the kernel support
adjust kernel config, and see if any changes to boot sequence are
needed. Likely it's just matter of fixing kernel.

The userland is compatible though. So this is not too complicated issue.

I just need a RPI2 to test with. I'll probably going to get one at some
point.
