If I understand correctly, OSv still builds correctly for ARM (make arch=aarch64) but although the kernel supposedly worked, it didn't have disk drivers, so you can only build the example application into the kernel (i.e., a ramdisk, scripts/build image=... fs=ramfs). There's definitely no support for anything new which just came out. But if you're interested to work on it, you are very welcome to adopt OSv's ARM support.
