Actually, none of the OMAP3 support has been merged into upstream
QEMU. There's just too much cleanup work required and it doesn't
seem like it would be all that useful to many people. (It would
probably be a few months work.)

Also true. I have to some extent been deliberately not doing binary
builds (a) in order to see if anybody noticed [you're the first]
and (b) because there's not much point: if you want the OMAP3
support then the old builds will work fine, and if you don't
then upstream QEMU is in all other ways much better.
