This could be worded better to clarify that this is about fixing the
VFIO selftests to allow native builds on arm64 host platforms.

Please also add a fixes tag, since it was not the intent of the original
commit was to disallow native arm64 builds.

Perhaps we can just include tools/scripts/Makefile.arch to avoid having
to maintain yet another "uname -m" translation?

This would make it harder to prevent aarch64_be though, which Alex
indicated we might want to do.
