Linaro is actively working on libvirt ARM for Openstack it but from
some of their status reports the progress is slow.

Well Linaro is working on it, I get the feeling they're not at the
upstreaming point.
Yupp, that's what I found out. There is a
trystack.org
instance running
OpenStack on ARM, based on the work from Linaro.
Those ARM machines are probably not that common nowadays, but still I
don't think we should exclude an arch right now.
