Back in
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/commit/0762a217c3d224a6235b49e1311b0be9028d9f59
this has been disabled for !x86 architectures.

Has this changed for arm64? open-vm-tools in their experimental upload
enabled arm64 build (cf.
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1248054/accepted-open-vm-tools-21130-2-source-into-experimental/).

We might do the same for the next experimental upload.

Regards,
Salvatore
