Jetson TK1 board support

Hi,

sorry, I did not have any time during the week.

I just sent a mail to the list with a link to my changes.

Only serial, USB2 and PCIe/Ethernet hardware is working - so no
SATA.

The drivers rely on u-boot to initialize the hardware. While this
is ok for pinmux, other initializations should be done by the
drivers.

The interrupt handling for PCIe is rather ad hoc. The interrupt
routing should honor the FDT description.

The Tegra platform has a GIC with extensions for interrupt
routing. I just made a copy of the GIC code end extended it
in a few cases. There should probably be a mechanism to do
this without duplicating code.

I changed some non tegra files to get FreeBSD running on the
hardware. There should be better solutions, which can be merged
back to the FreeBSD source tree. For example the problem
with cache coherency due to aggressive L2 prefetch awaits
a real solution.

There is no code to change the cpu clock yet.

There is no support for SDHCI or EMMC.

So I would consider this a first step, which allows to do
native development on the platform. 

Besides that, the kernel seems to be quite stable - at least with
the compiles I did.

Regards

Juergen
