Hi Fabio

I've never used bisect before and I have thusfar failed to get ARM
cross-compilation to work so I'm a bit wary of having to spend several
days rebuilding Linux several times on my board.

I think the first thing I need to do is to see what other archived
Arch kernel packages I can get - hopefully I can find packages for
4.9.1, 4.9.2 etc. I would imagine that if I can find the stable
release post 4.9.0 where imx6 SATA speed took a nosedive, that will
make bisecting much faster.

If anyone has an easy to follow, known working guide to setting up
cross-compilation from amd64 -> armv7h, that would be massively
helpful as none of the ones I have tried in the past have worked.

Thanks
