I guess I can point those machines to linux-ti-staging.

Of course, if one still needs the original kernel support for those platforms, 
the best approach is to use one of the old branches that had it - mixing very 
old kernel with a new system components is just asking for trouble.

Otherwise using either latest linux-ti-staging or even mainline would be 
recommended. Especially since there's some (although "best effort") work being 
done to update kernel support for those outdated platforms by adding Device 
Tree support etc...
