But for some misconfiguration, the arm64 kernels in fedora arm
koji would boot using ACPI on Mustang, the Foundation model,
and AMD Seattle platforms. All very much a work in progress,
but the tree from which the fedora patches are taken is the
devel branch of:

  git.fedorahosted.org/git/kernel-arm64.git

The configuration will be fixed this week and then you can
just grab an arm64 fedora kernel and boot with acpi=force.
