Linux KVM has been ported to ARM64 (http://www.paritynews.com/software/item/757-linux-kvm-ported-to-arm64-aarch64) just ahead of the release of the architecture, it has been revealed. Just last year ARM KVM virtualization support for Cortex-A15 32bit ARM processor was published. Marc Zyngier of ARM released a set of 29 patches that contained the implementation of KVM (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page) for ARM that depends on the pre-arm64 rework as well as tiny perf patch published earlier. Some of the newly released port are support for 4k and 64k pages (http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=136245528521204&w=2) and 32-bit as well as 64-bit guests.
