Except LPAE and non-LPAE will be 2 different builds... At least you will be able to run the same non-LPAE kernel build on both. > > What are the plans for single zImage?

Pawel has been working on it and can probably give details on A15 support. A single kernel for these 2 platforms (and A7 as well) is much simpler than getting to a single zImage in general (i.e. omap plus i.mx). But we'll be a lot closer in 3.4.
