To support the new arm64 instances.

Added as last argument for backwards compatibility.


the result of my experiments with the arm64 instance:

  • if_ena builds fine for aarch64
  • AMI builds fine (I'll post the FreeBSD tree patches soon)
  • the loader reads the nvme disk fine
  • the instance boot loops or hangs after the last message from the bootloader (WARNING! Trying to fire up the kernel, but no device tree blob found!) / before the first message from the kernel :(
  • dump of ACPI tables and Linux boot log (journalctl): https://gist.github.com/myfreeweb/0758d736097a2a174033c6ab99d97bdf

Thanks for the PR -- as it turns out I had already written my own patch, adding a new --arm64 flag rather than a general architecture parameter. Can you test what I've committed and tell me if it works for you?

I look forward to seeing your FreeBSD patches for building AMIs! I'd love to get this working soon.

Yeah, I guess flags are okay.
