There are only test for x86 and amd64. We likely want to have those test 
enabled for all architectures by default.
Also, I am not aware of anyone using in production livepatch on ARM64 
and ARM32. So did anyone give a good kick at the ARM implementation?
If not, then we should  do it before even considering as a supported 
feature for ARM.
