Inspection of the armv6 support bug (bug 697205) and discussion with the mobile team suggest that there's little that can be secreviewed (it's mostly releng work). There are some outstanding questions around JS changes (there's a minor change for soft-float support) and it may be worth including ARMv6 in our fuzzing work. Assigning to decoder to deal with once discussions on ARMv6 fuzzing have taken place.

According to dvander, the JS engine behaves on ARMv6 almost the same way as on ARMv7 when running with the --no-ti option. The only remaining differences are subtle instruction changes, but those are unlikely to cause trouble compared to the untested paths that we hit with --no-ti. I'll give that --no-ti configuration a try on X86 and ARM and maybe gkw can do the same with jsfunfuzz. With that in place, we should be more than good from the JS side.

We already fuzz with random flags including --no-ti on x86. ARM will have to wait till my pandaboard ES arrives, which has already been ordered.
But of course, pandaboards are ARMv7, so we have to think of ARMv6 hardware another day..
