At the moment I believe the best bet for this sort of support will be the Allwinner SOCs (and I never thought I'd be typing that) and we'll work with Hans to ensure his remix is usable and that we support as much as possible upstream to make his life as easy as possible.
Allow me to jump in here :) Now that we've a basically working kernel based on 3.4 android sources, the linux-sunxi community is recently focussing more and more on upstream work so we are slowly getting to a point were using allwinner devices with an upstream kernel may be feasible. This will likely be like the early trimslice days, so no video output support, but lan support is already in place upstream and usb support is on its way. The big remaining issue upstream is mmc / sdcard support, but I've good hopes there too. Once that is in place users will basically be able to choose: 1) Use plain Fedora, which will hopefully eventually support kvm on the cortex A7 (this requires using an upstream kernel), which means loosing things like video output, audio in/out, etc. (for now). 2) Use a linux-sunxi kernel, which means almost all peripherals will work, but no kvm support. I hope to be able to start working on upstream allwinner support soon-ish, I'm more or less done with my work on the 3.4 kernel, everything just works there now (more or less). But I've been quite busy recently with other stuff.
