[aarch64-port-dev ] Panama foreign on AArch64?

Hi Dmitry,

I briefly investigated getting the foreign branch to build on aarch64, 
by stubbing out the new backend interfaces implemented on x86, and 
copy/pasting the Java ABI classes. Let me know if you want to 
collaborate on this or would like us to help with testing, etc.

Thanks,
Nick
