We did an evaluation of it a few months ago for MSM chips.  IIRC, there 
were a lot of work-arounds needed to accommodate platform data and 
function pointers.  The net result was not a decrease in board file size 
or complexity.  I'll try to find the tree we used and host it somewhere 
for public review.
