Some Ubuntu people are having issues.  "Unexpected IRQ trap"  Best to
wait 6-12 months before using any new HW like this. 1 guy got a fix by
using a custom kernel.  Not something I'm interested in doing, but maybe
you are to be on the bleeding edge.

Seems not everyone is having issues.

I prefer to wait a year.  Lots of baytrail people probably feel that way
even today. Google "baytrail linux crash" - ouch.
