For eBPF, Sato-san is working on a JIT compiler. Depending on the how it winds up being implemented, it may only support JIT'ing for amd64 (one possibility being floated is an LLVM-based implementation, in which case arm64 support is a lot easier). If arm64 has to use an interpreter to run eBPF code rather than JIT'ing it, is that acceptable for a tier-1 platform?
