The following targets were recently ported to kernel 4.9:
* ar71xx
* at91
* brcm47xx
* layerscape
* malta
* omap

The following targets are on kernel 4.4 and need a upgrade to kernel 4.9
to be included:
* brcm63xx
* gemini
* ixp4xx
* orion
* oxnas
* uml
* zynq

The following targets are on kernel 3.18 and also need an upgrade to
kernel 4.9 to be included, they were not even included in LEDE 17.01:
* adm5120
* adm8668
* ar7
	kernel 4.1 patches are there ;-)
	I tried a port to kernel 4.4, but it was not booting correctly
* au1000
* mcs814x
	I have patches which port this target to 4.4 in my tree, but
	nobody tested them.

* ppc44x
* xburst

This target is on kernel 4.1 (WTF):
* omap24xx
