RPi Boot Process

[Joshua Perry]

Ah, well: http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/snappy/snappy-system.txt <http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/snappy/snappy-system.txt>

From the looks of things, building a RPi 3 kernel, initrd, u-boot, dtbs, and swapping in the RPi 3 boot binaries may be the bulk of getting this running.
