stable/11 -r317354 completes the fixes:

Author: kib
Date: Mon Apr 24 07:52:44 2017
New Revision: 317354
URL: 
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/317354


Log:
  MFC r316679:
  Do not lose dirty bits for removing PROT_WRITE on arm64.

Modified:
  stable/11/sys/arm64/arm64/pmap.c
Directory Properties:
  stable/11/   (props changed)

. . .


See:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-11/2017-April/003041.html

So now the old rpi3 wiki page material is only for
masking some of the problems in older contexts for
12 or for older contexts for 11.

[I've not been running 11, just 12.]
