Open Stack

jumping in as well to say I'm interested. I have an open patch for DIB to
allow cross arch building, too, which might make this more attainable (?)

Additionally, RHEL and by extension Rocky and CentOS now have multiple
arm64 kernels available with 4k and 64k page tables, respectively. It would
be good to perform tests on both these variants, I think.
