Please, before removing "aarch64" from MACHINEOVERRIDES, add "armv8a" or 
similar. This is how it is done for the armv7* based chips. E.g., I would 
expect to see tune-cortexa53.inc have:

MACHINEOVERRIDES =. "${@bb.utils.contains('TUNE_FEATURES', 'cortexa53', 
'armv8a:', '' ,d)}"

Which corresponds to how it is done for armv7*.

At least we currently rely on being able to do, e.g.:

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "aarch64|armv7a|armv7ve"

and if you remove "aarch64" from MACHINEOVERRIDES, we need a suitable 
substitute.
