The current mainline kernel (kernel.org) has support in it for the SMDK6410
which is an S3C6410 based machine. I will try and sort out some support for
S3C6400 designs for the next merge window.

If you have downloaded the openmoko release, then that has extra support for
the gta03, but is still based on the release kernel.
