[Cake] Cake upstream Planning

[Nils Andreas Svee]

Mostly because of the Cavium and MediaTek SDKs yes. However in my quest
to use a newer kernel I found that EdgeOS/Vyatta uses UnionFS which is
not supported on newer kernels than 3.16, so that's gotta be fixed first
too. In VyOS they've solved this by using UnionFS-Fuse.
