Linaro does this to some extent with ARM dev boards, but this is partially cause this is basically the only way to get a ARM device working these days, as the ARM tree in the kernel is in such a bad state (improving alot, and the flexibility afforded to ARM licencees make it harder) however the prices are not exceptional

Also guys like the Marvell SheevaPlug, DreamPlug, etc, where the manufacture actively work with the Linux devs, and they are not the only hardware manufactures. CPU vendors have been contributing to Linux and gcc, etc (AMD even to coreboot) for a long time.

Yes, but there's a huge difference between organisations maintaining component-specific features in the Linux kernel and offering a complete, fully-supported system.
