Firstly Jon Masters demonstrates running RHEL 7.2 with a (very very nearly) unmodified upstream kernel on SBSA/SBBR standards supporting hardware:
Secondly the LeMaker Cello is available for preorder from http://www.lenovator.com/product/103.html with delivery next month.

“It’s got UEFI, it’s got ACPI, what more could you want in life, right?”
Haha, perfect! 🙂
Where to confirm that? It is not featured in tech specs.
@lzap: it is required in a technical specification; namely, the Server Base Boot Requirements (SBBR). It is downloadable from
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.den0044a/index.html
Chapter 3 is entirely about UEFI. Chapter 4 is wholly about ACPI.
If the hardware you’re looking to buy claims compliance with SBBR, it *must* support UEFI and ACPI. (Plus, it also implies compliance with the SBSA (Server Based System Architecture), which is great.)
If you find an SBBR “sticker” on some hardware that doesn’t boot with UEFI + ACPI out of the box, please tell us about it.
Cough, Gigabyte, cough.
