Hmm.

Could I have access to a aarch64 build machine?  Or am I able to cause
a aarch64 build machine to evaluate a new wip branch?

I want to find out what it actually does in the case that aarch64 is used to
run armv7 stuff.  Does it have a compat layer in the kernel or not?

How about all the other 64 bit architectures that have a 32 bit compat
fallback in hardware?  Do those have a compat layer in the kernel or not?
