I don't really have the bandwidth to test that stuff right now, but I
recently managed to score a few PCI backplanes (backplane only, without
the massive case, so an ATX power supply is required to make use of it).
Some documentation is available at [1].

I could easily be convinced to part with one of them, and even drop it
at a suitably located Linaro office, if that helps...

Thanks,
