There is some basic i.MX51 support in the mainline kernel; Amit K. of Linaro worked on this port, and ISTR him telling me it would boot to a serial console. This port was developed on the Babbage.
I know, we are maintaining i.MX in the mainline and several people at Pengutronix are working on better MX51 support recently.
Whether or not the upstream bits work on the particular configuration of the Efika board is a different question, but it shouldn't be a lot of work to get it to boot at least.
If you mean "booting with serial console up to a prompt", without any graphics or other of the fancy features, then yes, that's easy. We have that running on the Babage board, on the TX51 and on customer hardware.
However, bringing MX51 to a state like what we have today for example for MX35 or MX27 will still be a lot of work.
