The Cavium ThunderX2 system has been fully paid for. Just gotta wait until it comes in.

Anyone know what the state of KVM on arm64 is?

It's pretty good. I run FreeBSD on Scaleway's ThunderX1 KVM VPS.

I/O was awfully slow though, until I discovered that it was because MSI-X was not used because of some silly blacklist thing. Fix: hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist="0"
