I see, is there at least a guide for the conversion?

Many devices with an ARM SoC and or an Android kernel aren't fully
supported by mainline. The devices that I own in this situation are the
OpenMoko FreeRunner (gta02) and the Samsung Galaxy S (galaxysmtd).

gta02:
git://git.openmoko.org/git/kernel.git
git://github.com/shr-distribution/linux.git

galaxysmtd (and a bunch of other devices):
git://gitorious.org/replicant/kernel_samsung_aries.git
