Description
tinycore x86_64 supports kernel 3.16 by default and doesnt provide newer prebuilt kernels at the moment. to get overlayfs we need 3.18 or newer
- theres an introduction to doing this here http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:custom_kernel
- boot2docker does this https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/blob/master/Dockerfile
- they have a custom kernel_config but i'm not sure how they manage it https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/blob/master/kernel_config
overlayfs is just an optimization so this isn't blocking anything, it would just be a nice-to-have

Research direction
Start with the linked Tiny Core custom-kernel guide, then compare boot2docker's Dockerfile and kernel_config to understand its build and configuration approach. The work is done when HyperOS can produce a Tiny Core x86_64 kernel at version 3.18 or newer with overlayfs available.
