Hi!

I'm happy to announce support for Freescale Vybrid Family
(VFxxx) microprocessors.

VF600 is a cheap single core ARM Cortex-A5 (500Mhz)
or dual-core SoC with ARM Cortex-M4 (167Mhz) for low-power
offload and real-time responsiveness. 

The port covers initial support, including drivers for:
gpio, usb ehci, nand, uart

Also supported:
GIC, mpcore_timer, ffec ethernet driver

For develop I used Phytec COSMIC board:
http://www.phytec.com/products/single-board-computers/

code is here (I will commit it to HEAD very soon)
http://hg.bsdpad.com

Known issues:
1) ffec ethernet driver can't find media on initialization
(trick with cable connector works)

Thanks to Freescale for the good docs and
to FreeBSD community for the great OS!

-Ruslan
