It supports basically 3 usable platforms at the moment, and likely not
all components of them. It's a marker point in what began just prior
to 3.0 with the ARM rant from Linus. There's still along way to go.
You should see the first Fedora kernel supporting this in the coming
weeks on 3 "server" platforms.
