bhyve/arm64 status

[Shawn Webb]

Thanks a lot for the info!

FYI: I plan to start helping out on this in July (helping in the form
of testing) on the ThunderX2. Progress will be slow, but steady.

HardenedBSD's ThunderX2 is currently running experimental BIOS
firmware, so this may prove to be a rather "interesting" test. :)

Thanks,
