Comment (by lukexi):

 I sent a mail out to the list a bit ago but should have added a comment
 here:

 I've completed the work to add the GHC ARM64 calling convention to LLVM
 [1], and finished up the support in GHC itself [2]. I'm in the process of
 tidying up the patches for submission. I'm going to try to backport them
 to 7.8 as well.
