Obviously those work too (and in practice they're the ones
I test most often with). Linaro kernels will certainly have
been tested with Versatile Express, but probably not with the
other older ARM devboards. But if you don't need to be on the
bleeding edge for anything then I don't think it makes much
difference whether you use the Linaro kernel or mainline for
an established platform like the ARM devboards.
