The ARM kernels are still too varied to really be packaged and released
by a generic distribution.  With luck, there will begin to be a standard
armhf kernel that configures itself via device tree and works on most
popular ARM boards.  But that day is still quite a ways off...for now,
there are too many board and SoC specific patches required to mainline
kernels for there to be any hope of a "generic" one-size-fits-most
kernel image.

So at the moment you're on your own for the boot-loader and kernel, but
once the kernel is up and running, you can leverage Debian or Ubuntu or
the armhf disto of your choice.
