bhyve/arm64 status

[Alexandru Elisei]

Hi,

I've been working on bhyve for arm64.

For the CPUs that you have posted:
- Overdrive, pine64, pinebook and rock64 don't support bhyvearm64, because
they have an older version of the interrupt controller (GIC400 vs GIC500).
- RPI3 doesn't support bhyvearm64, because it has a custom interrupt
controller.
- ThunderX2 will support bhyvearm64 in its current state, however the
hypervisor won't take advantage of some important virtualization
optimizations that the CPU implements.

bhyvearm64 hasn't been tested on hardware, but Mihai is considering the
espressobin platform for hardware bringup.
