I had a look at the ARM v8 / AArch64 documents when they were
released.

From a compiler writer's point of view, this architecture looks pretty
clean and unproblematic (thanks, ARM!), so I think it will be pretty
easy to support it in ocamlopt.  It looks like one of those ports that
can be completed in one week of work.

Personally, I'd rather wait until real hardware is available, because
developing with an emulator is a pain.

Cheers,
