support linux/arm64 platform as VPS

[frhack]

Hi, nowadays the ARM architecture offers very cheap and powerful options in the cloud, like for example:

https://aws.amazon.com/en/ec2/graviton/

Oracle Ampere free tier (Free ARM Instance with 24 GB of RAM and 4 cores)

Would be very interesting to support the linux/arm64 platform

To use ARM architecture an ARM64 kernel must be build. There is no so any ARM64 VPS available yet to support and test this. You can compile the kernel yourself following this doc: https://github.com/Ysurac/openmptcprouter-vps/wiki/Compile-kernel (you only need to update kernel release to latest 5.4 available)

hi, thanks, my free VPS on Oracle Cloud - seems ARM64:

uname -a
Linux vps 5.13.0-1028-oracle #33~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 2 03:56:22 UTC 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

AArch64 or ARM64 is the 64-bit extension of the ARM architecture.
