32 bit and different arches are handled by config changes not by code change. I don't know much about Arm, have you ported much code to the arch? I would assume it is not trivial work to get Lustre on 32 bit Arm but likely newer Lustre will be easier than older Lustre. You may want to look at the Linux Kernel staging tree and see if you can get the Lustre Client working in your environment. You will likely learn alot about the process and the challenges if you can accomplish this.
