I've never been able to boot the 3.18.8 kernel in the RPi (original) it hangs
in the boot. It don't seem to be as simple as taking the 3.15.5 config file
and "make oldconfig". Whilst that does build a kernel which attempts to boot
it hangs during the boot process. 

Possibly due to the change to device trees. Can't seem to find anything on
3.18.8 for original RPi
