Now we can have FreeBSD on Xen on ARM64 machines. Want accelerated graphics on a Raspberry PI?

FreeBSD + has worked in x86 Xen VMs for more than a decade, but now FreeBSD + works in Xen's ARM64 VMs. Effort was made to keep the patches + architecture-independent, so support for Xen/RISC-V should appear + once Xen/RISC-V becomes viable. + + Tianocore/EDK2 for Xen/ARM is the presently known to work initial boot + stage. Build the ArmVirtXen.dsc configuration and configure XEN_EFI.fd + as the kernel to boot. + + Presently DomU operation has been implemented. Dom0 operation could + be implemented in the future. A sponsor could aid this, or CheriBSD + may get there first. + 822ca3276345: byacc was updated to 20240109.
