Linaro has a page with links for running Linux on ARMv8

http://www.linaro.org/engineering/engineering-projects/armv8

ARM provides an emulator, ARMv8 Foundation Model (free as in free beer
but you need to register to be able to download, just like the
architecture documentation):

http://www.arm.com/products/tools/models/fast-models/foundation-model.php

I think the direct download link is at the bottom of the page:
