It depends on how much Cortex-A15 support you mean. UP with classic MMU
is already supported as it's an ARMv7 processor. SMP with classic MMU
got merged in 3.1-rc1 (commit 7665d9d2df - "ARM: proc: add proc info for
Cortex-A15MP using classic page tables"). ARM LPAE was merged in 3.3-rc1
and generic timers probably during the next merging window.

ARM LPAE and generic timers are unlikely to be back-ported to 3.0
(though I have some patches around but they need considerable amount of
timer for maintaining in a long-term release).
