Nitpick: Let's call it LPAE just because it's not Intel's PAE. The
primary A15 target today should be Exynos IMO, while we can build a
Calxeda "highbank" (they're still calling it that upstream, but I
believe they've announced the actual name, though I won't quote it just
in case that isn't the case) A15 kernel once that's upstream. I looked
at the patches Rob posted and it seemed pretty straightforward.

As you know, I'll have A15 hardware soon to poke also.
