[RFE] Cherry-pick ARM64 support for cifs-utils, realmd, sssd, adcli, go-tspi to June 20th Beta release #775

Closed t-lo closed 2 years ago

Current situation

ARM64 OS image is not on par with x86-64 image since it lacks a number of tools present in x86. While support for these binaries has recently been added to alpha-next, it is likely to miss the next major Stable release by end of July (based on the June 20 Beta), likely pushing out availability of the tools on ARM64 to September or even October.

Impact

Lack of support for SSSD in particular blocks a major Flatcar user from going ahead with putting ARM64 clusters into production. Also, the user is hesitant to introduce major changes to their clusters in Q4 because of the holiday season.

Ideal future situation

Changes in https://github.com/flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay/pull/1954 and https://github.com/flatcar-linux/portage-stable/pull/334 are cherry-picked to the upcoming Beta release on June 20 after undergoing due review, and included in the June 20 beta-3227.1.1 release.
