[Buildroot] Advice on a board support

Hi all,

Recently I discovered the OLinuxIno nano board form Olimex and I
really loved every corner of that!

Now I really want to build a rootfs with buildroot, but unfortunately
I discovered the board is not supported.

I really would like to contribute to the buildroot project supporting
this board, but this will be my first contribution. I read several
docs and I have a last question open.

To make this board fully operative, several patches should be applied
to some specific versions of the linux kernel. Patches are ready
available[1] but how integrate them with boildroot?

So my question is: what is the recommended way to support this new platform?

Thank you!
