There's work in progress on ARMv6 / v7 in SVN, see project "armv6", =
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/armv6/. The immediate platforms =
supported are Marvell PJ4 CPUs, but the code has been initially brought =
up also on Cortex-A9 (Panda), though I'm not sure if anyone is actively =
working on A8 adaptations.
