Sounds good.  Actually, I think any Fedora/ARM provided kernel should
just enable the same drivers and features as the Fedora kernel does on
x86.

It is not (yet) possible to build a single ARM kernel that works on
more than one ARM SoC, so the kernel build process would have to build
a bunch of different images for different hardware platforms, which
would require some kernel .spec file hacking.  (But, there's already
some support in the spec file for something like this, so it probably
wouldn't be too hard to do.)

On top of that, there might be some hacking needed to produce working
initramfs'es on ARM, and we might have to add some tools to flash
kernel images on some popular boards, perhaps some tools to modify the
uboot environment from within Linux, etc.
