Pandaboard platform support in the works.

During the g2k12 hackathon, Brandon Mercer (bmercer@) has been working on getting the beagle code run on the Pandaboard machines also.
The pandaboard is a development board with an ARM Cortex-A9 (dual-core at that!), 1G RAM and sports a large amount of connectors and ports.

Brandon has been working on it with help from Dale Rahn, miod@ and Patrick Wildt to get it to boot OpenBSD up to multiuser state.

The mandatory dmesg pr0n goes here:

As seen from the dmesg, there is a large amount of device drivers left to get working, but getting this far shows a lot promise that it will soon join the ranks of supported hardware platforms on OpenBSD.
