What would be a good arm cpu to use as a comparison, so that I can constrast the
 Cortex-A8 Armv7A processor in my Pandora against the (whatever) processor which
would typify the Arm6 architecture that is already implemented in FreeBSD?
Would there be one of those arm11** processors to do it, like maybe the arm1136?
 Or another one?

I found that the Arm folks don't release the Armv7 architecture document for the
 latest version, you need to be a Arm vendor with a "business reason" to get
that.  I got one for the Arm6 arch, but I'm not sure which particular one
typifies what FreeBSD's implemented already.

I want to be able to contrast things like memory management.
