Yeah there is active development going on in linux-omap mailing list
for the EVMs too. And Mistral's older 5912OSK is probably the best
supported omap board in the mainline kernel.

Basically adding new boards is just a question of adding the board-*.c
file, and .config for the drivers to include. Some board of course
have custom devices too.

Anyways, we'll add more boards to the mainline kernel later on, but
first we have to get the the minimal omap3 support working with
mainline kernel.
