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). -- Catalin
