Add documentation for arm/aarch64
From IRC, agrisis was having trouble with the udevd service not working, as well as issues in dhcpcd and others. I believe they removed that line to get it to work.
agrisis │ omg I figured it out
agrisis │ kernel command line: console=/dev/ttyS0
agrisis │ that messes up runit I guess

Couple of ideas for things to add:
The current default /boot/cmdline.txt setting for elevator is "noop". Changing that to "deadline" may improve apparent performance.
In /boot/config.txt if you set gpu_mem to anything less than 32 (MB), you will get alarming looking VCHI related errors in your boot log. They are apparently harmless, but do mean you are using a cut down version of the firmware.
If you've plugged in an LCD monitor to your HDMI on the Pi, you may get weird overscan / resolution options. You'll need to set hdmi_group to 2 in /boot/config.sys and lookup the correct values for hdmi_mode / your monitor here from the DMT group: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md
Installing the package "fake-hwclock" is very useful for maintaining a roughly correct system time between reboots.
Another idea for RPi.
The default CPU governor for the RPi kernel is powersave. This can make the system sluggish under certain loads as it will force the lowest frequency. A better default is ondemand which can be set for all cores with:
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor
I put the above in /etc/rc.local
@ericonr: Is there anything from this discussion that still needs to be added to the "ARM Devices" section?
Most of it, I think. But I don't know how many of them are Void specific, and I don't know exactly how they all work.
I'd also like to leave this issue open to track the addition of the other ARM boards.
