I patched pkg and used that to build the packages, and this time it did
build for armv7.  The attempt to upgrade from armv6 to armv7 did not go
so well.  I installed the new kernel and rebooted and everything worked
fine.  I then installed everything else and rebooted, but this time it
reported that init had died and then dropped into ddb.  I haven't
figured out anything else, but chroot from another RPi2 with
11.1-RELEASE shows that init was installed properly from the package.
This was just an experiment, so I didn't really lose anything
important.
