AFAIK BeagleBoard support has not been merged in yet. The patch from
last May is being progressively reworked. I recently submitted a patch
for X-Loader support which is a pre-requesite to BeagleBoard support. We
then need to implement building a kernel from Git instead of from a
released tarball (kernel trees with BeagleBoard support are usually not
tarballed), and finally we can add the board support.

I haven't heard anything back on my X-Loader support patch though, but I
guess everyone is pretty busy in the beginning of the new year.
