The non-existance problem would therefore be solved then. So far, AFAIK, the Letux team has tried their best to get as close to possible to mainline kernel and support as many classic devices (OMAP3 and OMAP4 devices as well), so removing 32bit support from mainline would surely be a step back for a lot of older devices as well. I know we have to accept the decision, but so far, I've known Linux to support as many older devices as possible as well - removing KVM Host 32bit support would be a step back here. Is there a specific reason for that? Is it too complex to maintain alongside the aarch64 KVM Host? > Hi Lukas, > > Thanks for your email. > > On 2020-04-28 13:38, Lukas Straub wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > As a preorder of the Pyra handheld, (OMAP5 SoC with 2x cortex-a15 arm > > cores) > > I'm against removing KVM host support for aarch32.
