In short no. The Marvell platform that is mentioned in the changelogs
is for the ArmadaXP server chips and the support is still very rough
around the edges. The plan for 3.7 is to get 3 platforms running on a
single kernel so we can do wider testing and get the process into
place.
There's a lot of kernel changes for the OLPC kernel that need to be
upstreamed as well before we could boot a vanilla Fedora kernel on the
XO. The last time I looked you could boot a Fedora kernel on the XO-1
but none of the later platforms were fully upstreamed. There's also
some work that needs to be done with grubby to allow setting of boot
kernels etc with the ofw.
