Folks,

More and more Android devices are shipping in 64bit form. As such, I think
Ubuntu needs a plan to use the drivers from such a system sooner rather
than later.

We have a choice, I think. We can either attempt to build a 64bit Ubuntu
image for phones (broadly, an arm64 version of what we have, for example),
or attempt to use the 64bit Android in a way that is restricted to only the
container which hosts it.

In such a system, the rest of the Ubuntu image need not change at all, and
would exist as a collection of armhf binaries.

I've attempted to sketch some details at the bottom of this page:

Are these the two options we have? What pros and cons are there for each?
