The only real testing I'm aware of is when I recreated the OKI67001
support a while back and got my board to boot.

Uwe has been busy pushing various patches for M3/M4 support, I don't
know how far it is from having some real hardware usable though. Uwe?
On my efm32 devboard I have 3.11-rc running. The missing bits are
available in my efm32 branch at

git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux.git efm32
http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=ukl/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/efm32

. It's not yet in a form ready for mainline but there isn't much
missing. There is one problem I didn't debug yet (/proc/devicetree
doesn't appear although I have the respective Kconfig symbol on); other
than that I didn't notice any no-mmu problems. Also Jonathan Austin does
some no-MMU work.


We use !MMU internally here for R-class stuff (see the recently added Cortex-R7 support).

Our CONFIG_MMU=n testing all happens on Versatile Express, and it should even be possible to run !MMU on TC2 (IE with an A-class processor). Perhaps if we feel that it isn't easy enough for people to test these configurations I can submit a vexpress_nommu defconfig or similar? It might need some additional patches to complete the story, but if it makes it easier to catch these breakages early then maybe it is worth it?
