AMD seems to have something on the lines of IME:

ARM itself is not a specific architecture nor a contained set of them;
for example, a quick google search reveals a thread with your question
on the Raspberry Pi forum:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=151542

tl;dr: there does not seem to be some behind-the-scenes management
available for ARM, but this does not stop specific implementations from
having some weirdness like the VideoCore GPU in a RPi - in this case the
GPU "controls" the CPU (it manages CPU boot and manages all CPU RAM at
all times) and is an opaque device.
