Also Kai (CCed) is going to maintain an aarch64 branch on:
   http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-contrib
Kai, let us know when your branch is available; hopefully that
will be early next week.

This branch will be continually rebased on master over the next
month or so and then merged to master after 1.7 is branched.
Patches welcome. They should be submitted here on the oe-core
list with an aarch64 tag in the subject line and CCing Kai please.
