I don't know the details, but ideally things would be set up
in a way where folks interested in patching 32-bit arm kvm support
can do so without causing issues for 64-bit kvm development.

That being said, I don't know who might be interested in doing
all the work for that. It's unrealistic to expect Marc to do this
work if he's not using it.

Features that are used get more resources, and features that are
less used end up just bitrotting into a broken state in about
six weeks in the Linux kernel :)
