ARM Publishes 64-bit "AArch64" Linux Kernel Support

An anonymous reader writes "ARM Holdings has made available Linux kernel support for AArch64, the ARMv8 64-bit architecture. No 64-bit ARMv8 hardware is yet shipping until later this year, but ARM has prepared the 36 patches amounting to 23,000 lines of architecture code for mainline integration."

Awesome... 23k lines gives support to a new arch

I think that what is really awesome is that adding just 23k lines of code gives you support for a new CPU architecture!
