Great ... I've just been playing with the new tree.
The following comments assume that linux-linaro-2.6.39/master =
570728d7678e788e4a0e2c19ad5f932e3c29a73c
vexpress
--------
linux-linaro-2.6.39/master doesn't seem to work on vexpress using the
linux-linaro-natty configuration (I get "starting the kernel", then
nothing).
Upstream v2.6.39 does appear to work fully on vexpress in both ARM and
Thumb-2.
The bad commit is: 6e7c40e473c1f0553175efff64cf30288c1bc9f4
(clockevents: ARM sp804: obtain sp804 timer rate via clks)
Rob Herring proposed a patch to fix this issue (below). Note that the
last hunk of the patch affecting libata is not relevant (Rob subsequently
retracted it.)
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/118249
That additional patch seems to fix the problem for me.

-----
I get a booting kernel from linux-linaro-2.6.39/master in mx51evk, so
long as I boot without an fdt blob.
If I build a Thumb-2 kernel, it does not boot, but a Thumb-2 kernel
built from linux-linaro-natty/master does boot; i.e. I get no messages
at all after "Starting kernel ..."
I haven't investigated what the problem is yet.
Cheers
