machine: add x1e Dell XPS configuration

[EmbeddedAndroid]

Per #104 there is a request to add a machine configuration for the Dell XPS x1e platform.

The patches used by Ubuntu for the XPS can be found here: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-concept/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/oracular/log/?h=x1e-6.12/201-dell-xps

To support this request, we would likely need:

• In flight kernel patches for XPS added to our recipe
• A USB installer image
• Grub support (maybe this can be done with systemd-boot rather)
• A recipe for the firmware-extract tool used on the Ubuntu installation in order to gather the firmware from the WoA side.

Just opening this issue to track the progress and start the discussion.

Hi, @EmbeddedAndroid
Could you kindly provide an update on the plan or the expected completion timeline? Having this information will help me plan accordingly.

Hi @JohnGoogl,

We are trying to procure the hardware (we don't have an XPS 13), once we have that in house, we will have a better idea of timeframe. I'll update this issue once hardware is received.

Thanks,

Tyler
