Hi David,
AArch64 is completely new architecture so it's not about extending
current ARM support but rather write a new beside it -- at least as a
prototype, if there is a lot of synergies you can merge both together
later, but I don't see it having a high chance. Well the situation with
AArch64 and ARM is very similar to situation with i386 and amd64 support
so you can get an idea what's the difference (extended registers set,
extended registers width, extended NEON (the least important detail
indeed), different calling convention, etc.)
Cheers,
Karel

I don't believe so.
LLVM in head supports Arm64 so I imagine it wouldn't be too much work
to extend our existing Arm support (also through LLVM) to work with
Arm64. I'm not aware of any Arm64 hardware being available yet but
someone could potentially start with a virtual image:

I am curious if anyone has started or is planning to work on porting
GHC to the new ARM 64bit architecture AArch64 for Linux?
