It would be nice to put a proper boot manager on here and boot from SD like you say.

These are Linux devices. We build kernels for them. As for the Nokia Internet tablets this has been done back since the 770.
Feeding in a voltage higher than the chips maximum ratings is entirely possible with the PMIC. Oh the joys of feeding in 5V to a 3.3V part.

Check out arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-rx51* .

The PM related stuff is twl4030. The omap3 can have different signals for a given ball (pin) and there is some macro to change that pin muxing. The pin assignments should be checked as well.
