Default [STOCK][KERNEL]UCKH7 stock zImage dump

I managed to root my device by rooting one of the system dumps. With this I was able to pull our stock kernel.

The file is attached below, zipped so that the forum will allow it to be posted.

This is NOT a valid CWM flashable zip, do not try to flash it from CWM because it will not work! If you want to flash this kernel to return your device's kernel to stock, the following method has been tested:

Unzip the file, run the following command - this assumes that you have the commandline version of Heimdall installed.
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage
Next up - extracting the initramfs and posting that to github.

A few opinions on kernel development "good practices"

Indeterminate yet. Depends on:
1) GPS performance
2) Google Wallet support

If the GPS isn't a major improvement and GW doesn't work with the NFC chip in this device, I can't justify the cost of upgrading. I've got 30 days.

Our phone has NFC. But how do we enable it? would that be kernel modifications? or general ROM mods?
