+ <p>The SoftIron Overdrive 3000 is an ARMv8 based server with an
+ 8-core AMD Opteron A1100 processor. The Overdrive 3000 has
+ two 10Gbase-T ethernet ports, two PCI Express ports, and eight
+ SATA ports. &os; has been updated to be able to boot on this
+ hardware.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for the SATA device was added to the
+ <tt>ahci(4)</tt> driver. Unlike on x86, this is a Memory Mapped
+ (mmio) device, and not on the PCI bus. To support this, a new
+ ahci mmio driver attachment has been added.</p>
+
+ <p>The generic PCIe driver has been updated to improve interrupt
+ handling. This includes supporting the interrupt-map devicetree
+ property, and supporting MSI and MSI-X interrupts on arm64.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for MSI and MSI-X interrupts has been added to the ARM
+ Generic Interrupt Controller v2 (gicv2) driver. This allows devices
+ to use these interrupts. This has been tested with a collection
+ of PCIe NIC hardware.</p>
