We could do it either way.

Each of the tests in an exclude list can have an arch specific flag so we can make the excludes aarch64 specific by adding "generic-aarch64" to each excluded test.

I have a marginal preference for keeping all the aarch64 excludes in 1 place, just easier to manage / edit.

Anyone else have any (relevant:-) opinions.

All the best,
