It supports serial console, netbooting, and wil reboot on loss-restore of
AC power I assume - these are the same things the ports cluster machines
requires and is available in the FreeBSD.org cluster.

I've also told Warner before, I'd be happy with a simulator and disk
image.  The ARM maintainers could periodically create tested updated disk
images for committers to download.

Such people cannot apply a patch [or the usual responce: use perforce]?
I really don't think this is an insurmountable thing slowing down ARM
kernel development by those skilled enough to be involved at this point.
