Presumable you're referring to the general cores like the Tegra3 and not some of the supplemental cores like on the OMAP devices for media processing? Support for the Tegra 3 core landed in 3.4, Linaro is working on the arm big.LITTLE Cortex A15/A7 support. There's a two phase approach to this, I thing there's a couple of articles on LWN about the direction they are taking.
