I started a skeleton wiki page[2] to keep track of the various patchsets, a short description of the features they enable, etc. It would be nice if you could contribute to this directly. Feel free to edit it.
May I ask what you interest in b.L MP is?

Hi Amit,
Yea, following Viresh's pull requests and your answer [1] I have been following big.LITTLE progress over the time. The wiki page would be a good help perhaps posting there might be a better idea. If I have covered enough ground over the time then I can post an RFC fairly soon.
I'm mostly researching HMP for task placement and the big.LITTLE model seems perfect for that, earlier on I was working on an approach based on a restricted-type NUMA version where the CCI-400 can be used for lookups and based on remote-lookups some node_scan() can be used from NUMA-load balancers for task-placement, the NUMA load balancer patches that were recently posted to lkml by Andrea and Peter each following their own approach. That idea didn't seem to work so well, atm I'm reading Morten's patches to contribute code in that direction.
