I don't think listing every supported AArch64 core is maintainable. As all cores that follow the architecture are supported.

Please don't add cores to the list unless FreeBSD has actually been tested on them and is known to work. For example, we do not support running natively on Apple Silicon, though we can run in emulator. Also, armv6 is no longer supported, so please remove all armv6 (i.e. ARM11 and earlier) cores.

ARMv6 is no longer supported as of FreeBSD 15.0. See release notes.
