AFAIK It depends on phone/tablet manufacturer, since the build system
is not GPL.
Generally, you can try to setup it by yourself:
1. Take one of the available builds for other MTK chipset based phones [1].
2. Download source code which was provided by Lenovo [2].
3. Built new kernel with platform config from Lenovo's package [3]

./mk is a symlink to ./makeMtk script which is part of Mediatek build
system.
The script is located at mediatek/build folder.

eaxactly, but I'm mainly going to run it as a very smooth workstation
and only the very rare case of heavy compilation (say, a kernel) or
running a VM

because Xen can't run unmodified Windows without the VT extentions IIRC,
and I'd like to do that once in a while to run photoshop, as Gimp is
just not there yet.

In THEORY, additional advantage is faster and more precise computation
of floating point operations, which is best for heavy computational
simulations.

I didn't understand why you need VT, but anyway there is additional good

Sure, it's because so many sites doesn't support Firefox and the only
