It has all been MFC'd to 10-stable around the end of May and will be in
10.2.  The only missing piece is changes to the u-boot ports.  I got
started on that, got like just wandboard done (but not comitted, I'm not
actually a ports committer so I have to get someone's approval to
commit), then this crazy-deadline project came up at work.
