Port to AARCH64 (RasPi 4) #80

Hi

This is very much a midterm/longterm whish/idea for this nice project and to push you a little bit towards your own goals ;-)

In the long-run, this means allowing people to run Linux in standalone AR & VR HMDs

Would be nice if Simula would be ported to AARCH64 (64 bit ARM). What are the blocking points at the moment for this?

The newly announced RasPi 4 offers two independent HDMI outputs which can support both 4k resolutions. This lowers the barrier a lot to make a DIY stand alone Linux HMD.

I guess, that for this OpenHMD support is essential (#72) which needs quite a lot of effort on there side to make it happen for Simula

Not too much apart from OpenHMD. GHC runs on arm64, pretty sure Godot runs on arm64, and the one hack I had to do that depends on x64 calling conventions can be adapted.

This is a good idea, but I'm closing this issue for now while we focus on getting non-standalone VR up & running. When we get to this milestone I'll re-open.
