What about ARM64?

Maybe a better question, what is the value in delineating by arch?

Ok, I see powerPC needs the device tree compiler.  Why is that only 
needed for powerPC, and what is the argument against listing that for 
Ubuntu on all arches?

I see the value of specifying a tailored list by distro, but adding an 
arch to the matrix seems like a massive amount of effort to generate and 
maintain the various variants, for little gain.

Ubuntu Distro X86_64 ARM64 is the suggestion ?

I can update ... any other distro's or arch's ?

I'm not sure the history on why the distro specifics were not identified before, but the

thought was to add what we know today and what is useful and maintain going forward.

If arch is not deemed helpful, that can be removed.  I have insight for ppc64le, I'll need other

input on how best to format for coverage on the previous arch's/distro's.

I'd rather have some distro package info than none for sure.  Let's go
with what we have here and I'll try and figure out if there any
differences for other arches and I'll update the README as and when.

Works for me.  For Ubuntu on ARM64 (specifically 16.04.3 on QDF2400), 
the default list we have in the tree today works for me.  I don't know 
if that can be pared down, but I don't need to add anything to it.
