Hello,

This seems reasonable to me. We could also turn "arm32-disk-image" and
"arm64-disk-image" into procedures and pass the root offset as argument
to avoid multiplying image types. Danny, Vagrant, any opinion?

Were you able to actually use the generated image on a pinebook-pro? I
added support for this machine without being able to test it.

Thanks,

Mathieu
