[Arm-netbook] flying squirrel conundrum

[luke.leighton]

we have a bit of a conundrum over component pricing.   $7 or thereabouts is
due to the use of EOMA-68 (casework etc). but even subtracting $7 from $113
we're still a whopping $26 (23%) off of equivalent devices with the same
functionality.

the target's $80.  can anyone help source parts on this list that will help
us to reach the target?
