Import the kernel parts of bhyve/arm64
To support virtual machines on arm64 add the vmm code. This is based on
earlier work by Mihai Carabas and Alexandru Elisei at University
Politehnica of Bucharest, with further work by myself and Mark Johnston.
All AArch64 CPUs should work, however only the GICv3 interrupt
controller is supported. There is initial support to allow the GICv2
to be supported in the future. Only pure Armv8.0 virtualisation is
supported, the Virtualization Host Extensions are not currently used.
With a separate userspace patch and U-Boot port FreeBSD guests are able
to boot to multiuser mode, and the hypervisor can be tested with the
kvm unit tests. Linux partially boots, but hangs before entering
userspace. Other operating systems are untested.

FYI, sys/arm64/vmm/vmm.c shares a fair bit of code with sys/amd64/vmm/vmm.c
and looks to be derived from the amd64 file, so I think it should preserve
NetApp's copyright line in addition to Mihai's.
