The poster in this StackExchange thread is trying to do exactly what we are doing here ... only they are doing it for the reMarkable Tablet instead. I'm following along.
It seems like a good idea to use a generic sabrelite kernel + Kindle rootfs kernel ... or is it? Has the Kindle's kernel tree deviated a lot from mainstream? In other words, do you think it's a good idea to try this?

Edit: Surprise surprise! The U-Boot image which the poster has booted successfully in their QEMU instance didn't boot in mine. But is it really an issue with my compilation? I don't think so because even Ubuntu's packaged QEMU didn't boot that image.
