One thing I noticed is you are not prefixing the all file names in the
sys/arm/freescale/vybrid/ directory with something unique. I am
starting to work on a GENERIC kernel for armv6 and this needs each file
to have a unique name even if they are in different directories.

It would be good if you could rename them before committing to
FreeBSD as this would reduce the churn later.
