This sounds like a very interesting project, and I'm not aware of any
other projects or plans to port Barrelfish on ARMv8. Currently, our ARM
efforts are focused on ARMv5 and ARMv7 platforms, but we would be very
happy to offer advice and feedback on an ARMv8 port, and also collaborate
on integrating it to the Barrelfish tree.

cheers,
Kornilios.
