If you have a support for the 3.0 kernel, you may adapt it to a newer
kernel. Or indeed use the 3.0 kernel as a base for Xenomai. In this
case, the guide is:

http://xenomai.org/index.php/I-pipe:ArmPorting

Is what we have to help you. But:
- it seems the I-pipe core patches are a bit easier to port to new ARM
boards (we already had 3 new ports since the first I-pipe core patch for
3.2);
- this document is quite outdated, you would have to use the new version
explanations about GPIOs demuxing or tsc emulation;
- getting the full support for the processor you are intereseted in
merged into the mainline kernel may be more future proof than getting
stuck with Linux 3.0.
