Basic Orion support is currently available from P4 arm development branch:
http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/arm/src&HIDEDEL=NO
and it covers the following functionality:

  - basic CPU support (interrupts, timers)
  - integrated 1Gbps Ethernet
  - EHCI USB
  - multi-user operation
  - booting from net or USB device

It should run fine on a 5182 system among other variants. More integrated
peripherals support that already is [being] developed (including PCI/PCIe,
IDMA, I2C) will also be available.

I'm going to merge all Orion support with the main FreeBSD repository, but was
very busy with other things recently.
