I've talked with Andrew Turner, who gave me a little bit of info to use
as a starting point. We need to get U-Boot EFI working on the RPI3
first. Luiz Otavio O Souza is the current U-Boot expert in FreeBSD, so
I'm CC'ing him here. He's here at the Dev Summit, so I'm hoping he might
have time to help out.

If I can't get the right knowledgeable people involved, I'm going to
cancel the hackathon. I simply lack the knowledge regarding ARM64 and
the RPI3 hardware to do anything myself over the course of the next four
days. The ARM64 reference documentation is several thousands of pages,
and I'm only a few hundred pages in. I'll continue on, but I still have
a ways to go. ;)

I'm really hoping to get some help from the FreeBSD community.

Thanks,

Shawn
