Yes, I just booted mine with exactly the mbox patches applied on top of plain 3.10.5. There's a SATA SSD in it so that you don't even need to care about the MTD stuff etc... I'm used to boot mine over the network with a rootfs in the initrd, so everything runs in RAM because it's more convenient for me, it boots in about 8 seconds. It started to work since 3.8 and is fine with 3.10+. 3.11 brings PCIe and some stuff you won't necessarily need for kernel dev. You won't have the NEON extensions on it (but I doubt you'd need it).
