Bay Trail is confirmed to not work properly on modern kernel versions. The early Atom chips worked well on 10.5, but Apple changed the kernel CPU usage around in 10.6 and later and it stopped working correctly from then on. That said, a legacy or AMD kernel might work. Probably not worth the effort as compared to a small Haswell build. Also, graphics are probably never happening, even if it boots.

Everyone else saying Atom chips will work are all referring to older models. Bay Trail is a lot newer, and seeing as it's a SoC, you might need a modified kernel for it to work.
