I once suggested in the past already that we should maybe get rid of
the 32-bit variants in case the 64-bit variant is a full superset, so
we can save compile- and test times (which is quite a bit for QEMU),
but I've been told that the 32-bit variants are mostly still required
for supporting KVM on 32-bit host machines.
Do we still care for 32-bit host machines?
As long as the Linux kernel still supports 32-bit KVM virtualization, I
think we have to keep the userspace around for that, too.
But I wonder why we're keeping qemu-system-arm around? 32-bit KVM support
for ARM has been removed with Linux kernel 5.7 as far as I know, so I think
we could likely drop the qemu-system-arm nowadays, too? Peter, Richard,
what's your opinion on this?
