It's not officially supported.

I have such a system sitting right here (one of those annoying Bay Trail
tablets) and it's fairly trivial to generate an image that boots on it,
and even do an installation to it (I helped one of the guys at Intel do
that, and it worked).

If we ever get the hardware support for the first-gen Bay Trail devices
in a usable state I'll probably release an unofficial F20-based image
that's 32-bit UEFI capable, but we're unlikely to support 32-bit UEFI
officially: the next generation of Bay Trail-based devices will use
64-bit firmwares, it's only the first gen and the first gen of x86
Apples (which are not pretty much obsolete) that used 32-bit UEFI
firmwares in the wild.
