OMAP3 support is available has ben mainline kernel for years in the mainline kernel, I would say since at least 2.6.31. The problem is more board support for the specific board this user wants, and drivers. But as I said, adding this support if you have it for another kernel is easier than adapting I-pipe support. -- Gilles.
