I have built a kernel package for f13 and f15 using Mark's patches.  
They are available from the xpfa repos.

   
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/Fedora_ARM_Kernels#Set_Up_the_Repository

The f15 repo can be set up just like the f13 version by using f15 in the 
path, i.e.:

  sudo yum --nogpgcheck install \
    
http://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/packages/FedoraArm/RPMS/noarch/xpfa-15-1.noarch.rpm

If you install (or update) and configure the f15 grubby 
(grubby-7.0.16-5.01.fc15.armv7hl.rpm) it will create the U-Boot images 
for you (as per the instructions mentioned above).

Notes:
  If you use grubby, be sure to configure /etc/sysconfig/uboot _before_ 
installing the kernel.
  This version of grubby has only been tested on a Panda board (omap) 
and on the Trim Slice (tegra).
  Be sure to install the correct kernel variant for your system, i.e.:
     sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa install kernel-omap        # for Panda
     sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa install kernel-tegra         # for Trim 
Slice
