Currently it's possible to boot[1] vanilla 2.6.32 kernel and log in
over ssh but not much else. Ssh is slow since the patch at [2] still
is missing. Does this count as being mainlined? Is it worth to start
working on packaging in main before more support is upstream? If extra
patches are acceptable the 2.6.31 work at [3] could be a source of
patches to be applied.
