Confirmation: Kernel builds and runs for both Debian squeeze and
wheezy (gcc 4.4 and gcc 4.7) on i386.

There are still other issues that need investigation but they might be
older and/or related to changes on my end. virtio-net doesn't seem to
work at all (but does so in the Debian squeeze 2.6.32 kernel), and the
virtualbox guest module (4.1.18) fails to load (known issue on i386 if
build using gcc 4.7, but know this also happens with gcc 4.4).

Unfortunately my time ressources are very limited at the moment, and
there's also something in 3.4.49 which has higher priority. Stay
tuned.
