Thank you.

If you are referring to some soft that emulates ARMv7 (instead of using HW
platform), then there is none that
I know about which allows to run FreeBSD in multiuser. Or I misunderstood
your question?

Regarding HW platforms, then all ARMv6/v7-based devices supported by
FreeBSD should be able to take advantage
of superpages.

Best regards
