After the recent fixes, it's now confirmed to work.
Should it be closed then?
I will close it as soon as this is pushed :)

Just semantics, wasn't the problem just in the test suite? In which case I'd consider it more of a fix than implementation.
Most of the changes indeed happened in the test suite, but some tweaks to the aarch64 CPU driver were necessary as well, specifically:

As for whether this should be considered a bug fix, of course the line between the various release notes sections is not entirely well defined and there's always some overlap / leeway...
I would consider this a bug fix if we had Apple Silicon support in the past and broke it, but since the hardware literally didn't exist until a few months ago, I think it qualifies as a new feature - it just so happens to be one where we could piggy-back on existing features almost completely ;)
Nitpick, for our supported platforms we generally aim to have CI coverage and that isn't the case for Apple Silicon. So it may or may not work when the release comes - we could well break it between now and release day.
