[QUERY] Building and testing Aarch64

Hi,

I'm interested in cross-compiling for ARM v8, and fixing some early
papercuts to begin with; my host machine is a normal x86_64 box.
Although I managed to use Linaro's toolchain [1] to build an Aarch64
kernel, and found a suitable rootfs [2] to use it with, I am not able
to find an ARM64 machine emulator. qemu-system-arm seems to emulate
only a 32-bit ARM machine, and is hence unsuitable for the task. How
is everyone else working on the /arch/arm64 tree?

Thanks.
