Both our arm64 boxes are out of commission and repairing them is

Apologies if this is already documented elsewhere - does OSStest use Qemu for
arm64 testing?
Osstest does not use QEMU for testing, but I think it would be too slow to have
result in timely manner and use x86 resource as well.
To avoid having zero test coverage for one target architecture, it may be acceptable to
temporarily reduce test capacity for other target architectures. QEMU has the advantage
of being faster to "rack" a test architecture for temporary use.
Well, arm64 test coverage was already reduced because we had only 2
platforms ready for testing. I can hardly imagine how this code be
reduced more for fitting QEMU. Beware that we compile natively in
Osstest so this will take an awful lot of time here.
However, the main problem here is not the lack of platform but the lack
of time for OSSTest team (mostly Ian and Wei) to investigate and
bring-up new platforms. Maybe you can help finding contributors to help
on Arm64?
