Obviously those work too (and in practice they're the ones I test most often with). Linaro kernels will certainly have been tested with Versatile Express, but probably not with the other older ARM devboards. But if you don't need to be on the bleeding edge for anything then I don't think it makes much difference whether you use the Linaro kernel or mainline for an established platform like the ARM devboards.
