We can definitely help testing the rpm, once there is one rpm that is
compatible with aarch64.
Marcin, do you know if there is already an aarch64-compatible efi
image for Fedora? I believe it would also make sense to build xen with
efi support on aarch64.
I have done a temporary build of the Fedora 25 xen package adapted for
aarch64 at
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3757184
Could you test it and see if it works or needs further modification. If it
is satifactory then I will look at adding aarch64 support to the main
Fedora package.
