Brought this up for discussion with our devs. We haven't yet really gotten
that far into ARMv8. I'm not sure that there are too many proprietary
pieces of software that require 32 bit on ARM at the moment.  We'll
probably start with a pure 64 bit environment at the beginning and
reevaluate later on when the random software pops up.
