Is "aarch64" the upcoming 64 Bit ARM v8 ( 
http://www.arm.com/products/processors/instruction-set-architectures/armv8-architecture.php 
) ?

Same seems very interesting for future Linux servers and there are 
strong rumors that Apple might migrate their Laptops and Desktops away 
from Intel ta ARM (v8).

Regarding that we already do have arm 32Bit and x86_64 this seems rather 
doable (once testing hardware and/or simulators are available).
