Progress has been made and it now boots and USB-works :-)
(but SD-card reader and Ethernet do not)

Mikaël Urankar added the code to enable multiple processors,
but for now multiple processors are disabled.

This is very much a work in progress, but for those who would like to
compile their own kernel and boot it on an Odroid-C2, get it from:

https://github.com/tomtor/freebsd/tree/tc2

and build it with:

make TARGET=arm64 -s buildworld
make TARGET=arm64 buildkernel KERNCONF=ODROIDC2 NO_MODULES=YES

I have attached an USB disk and an USB ethernet adapter and the system
boots, NTP adjusts the date and I'm logged in with SSH.

However, a "portsnap fetch" runs a long time and then exits with:
pid 78242 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped), so it is
obviously not ready for general use.

Boot instructions are here:
