After wondering what the source is for the ARCH kernel on the Wandboard,
I think the answer must be as laid out in the PKGBUILD on their github:

https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-wandboard/PKGBUILD

>From what I can make out, the source is taken from a specific commit on
https://github.com/wandboard-org/linux.  Does this means it is based on
the freescale kernel 3.10 ?  The build generates "zImage modules
imx6dl-wandboard.dtb imx6q-wandboard.dtb" etc.

There is also a ARCHLINUX ARMV7 multi-platform kernel that is supposed
to run on the Wandoard - from their WIKI:

-"Mainline Kernels

Mainline kernel support (3.14+) is available now for i.MX6; however, it
is not the default in the installation image due to bugs still being
worked out.
You must be running the latest U-Boot we have in the files above, or by
running pacman -Syu in your installation to update the U-Boot package
installed in the previous section. U-Boot should be at least version
2014.01, visible via the serial console at boot.
Once running on the latest U-Boot, boot into Arch Linux ARM.
Install the new kernel, which will remove the linux-wandboard package:
pacman -Syu linux-armv7
Reboot the system:
reboot:" -

That info is out of date as the package "linux-armv7" now appears to be
based on main line kernel 3.15.1. See:
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-armv7/PKGBUILD
