[meta-xilinx] Linux/FreeRTOS AMP vrings

So I decided to go ahead and just try a kernel using linux-xlnx master
tip, which is:
Linux 4.0.0-xilinx-dev #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 2 15:30:11 PDT 2015
armv7l GNU/Linux
The vring buffer addresses are correct in this version; they are set
correctly to 0x1e440xxx. No more fudging needed on CPU1 side!
Now I don't know the exact relationship between linux-xlnx kernel,
meta-xilinx yocto layer, nor how new branches (e.g., fido) come into
play here, so I want to ask how would you proceed? I'm currently
using meta-xilinx fido branch.
1) Find the commit(s) that fixed this in 4.0 and create a backported
patch for linux-xlnx 3.14
2) Find the commit(s) that fixed this in 4.0 and create a backported
patch for linux-xlnx-dev using kernel 3.19
3) Use linux-xlnx-dev with kernel 4.0, but perhaps point to a more
stable 4.0 commit than tip (that still contains the fix)
I'd like to go with option 3. Are there any drawbacks to that? Is
possible for anyone to make a guesstimate for when a meta-xilinx
branch with kernel 4.0 will be available?
Thanks everyone for your help and advice.
