- Move the required kernel compiler flags from Makefile.arm64 to kern.mk.
- Build arm64 modules as PIC; non-PIC relocations in .o for shared object
output cannot be handled.
- Do not try to install aarch64 symlink.
- A hack for arm64 to avoid ld -r stage. See the comment for the explanation.
Some functionality is lost, like ctf handling, but hopefully will be
restored after newer linker is available.

SoC is used in the HiKey board from 96boards.
Currently on the SD card is working on the HiKey, as such devices 0 and 2

loader.conf:
hint.hisi_dwmmc.0.disabled=1
hint.hisi_dwmmc.2.disabled=1

would use something like the following in files.arm64:
arm64/cavium/thunder_nic.c optional soc_cavm_thunderx thndr_nic

This has been tested on qemu with 2 cpus as that is the current value of
MAXCPUS. This is expected to be increased in the future as FreeBSD has
been tested on 48 cores on the Cavium ThunderX hardware.
Partially based on a patch from Robin Randhawa from ARM.

drivers, one for fdt, one for acpi. It then uses this to decide if it will
use fdt or acpi.
The GICv2 (interrupt controller) and Generic Timer drivers have been
updated to handle both cases.
As this is early code we still need FDT to find the kernel console, and
some parts are still missing, including PCI support.

This is only the minimum set of files needed to boot in qemu. As such it is
missing a few things.
The bus_dma code is currently only stub functions with a full implementation
from the development tree to follow.
The gic driver has been copied as the interrupt framework is different. It
is expected the two drivers will be merged by the arm intrng project,
however this will need to be imported into the tree and support for arm64
would need to be added.
This includes code developed by myself, SemiHalf, Ed Maste, and Robin
Randhawa from ARM. This has been funded by the FreeBSD Foundation, with
early development by myself in my spare time with assistance from Robin.
