enabled them last week:

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.14.17-ti-r19

( i need to add a : linux-image-bb.org-v3.14-meta-package )

So the "-bone" is close to mainline (small # of patches). The "-ti" we
are a basing on a ti branch: (git.ti.com, patchset >20Mb).. Plus the
'debian' linux-image-armmp will also work once we switch to jessie..
(you can even install ubuntu's linux-image *.deb) the bootloader will
find it.

v3.14-ti repo: https://github.com/beagleboard/linux/tree/3.14
