RPI3 Hackathon at BSDCan/Dev SUmmit

Hey,

I'm hoping we can convince Andrew Turner to help us out. He has
existing code at https://github.com/zxombie/freebsd/tree/arm64-rpi3 but
that hasn't been updated for a while now. FreeBSD HEAD has diverged
enough to cause merge conflicts, some of which I think I might've fixed
in my own code repo, but I don't know jack about that code so I probably
made mistakes.

The RPI3 devices we're bringing all have SD cards in them along with
serial cables that can also power the device. We're also bringing
somewhere around 5-7 SD card readers. So we'll have plenty of devices to
hack and test on.

I can help coordinate the work, but we really need help from those who
understand arm64 and the chips in the RPI3.

Thanks,

Shawn
