The basic A15 CPU support is upstream, but no board support. The board support emulation on the model is for obscure reasons not exactly the same as a real VExpress, but it's pretty close. With Pawel Moll's VExpress device tree support patches on top of mainline, we can produce a single kernel config and a set of device trees which allow booting on all the A15-based model variants. I'll be pushing a tree onto git.linaro.org soon with that stuff. The ARM landing team guys should be able to advice on the amount of effort required to merge android with such a kernel. I don't currently know anything in that area.
