I'm thinking of the sticks etc, they all have 32bit UEFI and no
CSM/legacy boot, but have 64bit cpus
I never did try FreeBSD on BayTrail but for running Linux on BayTrail I
used special built Grub that was 32bit but could load 64bit OS. Could
this kind of Grub boot a 64bit FreeBSD, I wonder?
I looked at this but honestly it looked like a giant nightmare - I did
get grub loading on a test platform (tablet, for display etc) but didn't
manage to make it boot anything

I don't think anyone is actively working on it. I think it shouldn't be
that much work once the i386 loader is resurrected. The i386 kernel
just
needs to use the EFI memory map and I think the rest of it should
generally
just work.
