yeah,
these are for other boards also, because manjaro supports a lot of boards on mainline. You can strip them all and leave the allwinner patches and it will work. I already build a kernel with all these patches out because ethernet didn't work and I wanted to build as vanilla as possible. The patches didn't have anything to do with the ethernet problem as I didn't have ethernet without them. After a little research I saw it showed up in dmesg and all I had to do was bring it up. For some reason the ethernet was turned of.
I you want, I can build a Vanilla kernel for manjaro-arm, then you can test it yourself on a manjaro-arm image.
The emmc patch is because some emmc-hs-modules don't boot with mainline kernel as there is something wrong with the emplemantation of the emmc on the pineh64. For that reason there is no benfit when using emmc on the pineh64. The max read/write speeds you will get is around 40Mb/s.
With this patch you can't boot from µSD. That's the reason it's on sourceforge. The official manjaro-arm kernel doesn't have this patch.
