Hi,

Ampere1 as well as ampere2 are upgraded but I do not see the effect of linux64.ko being loaded.

e.g. http://ampere2.nyi.freebsd.org/data/main-arm64-default/p4970d39a547c_s511b83b167/logs/errors/linux-c7-lz4-1.8.3.log :
=======================<phase: run-depends    >============================
===>   linux-c7-lz4-1.8.3 depends on package: linux_base-c7>=7.6.1810_7 - not found
===>   Installing existing package /packages/All/linux_base-c7-7.9.2009.pkg
[main-arm64-default-job-13] Installing linux_base-c7-7.9.2009...
Cannot install package: kernel missing 64-bit Linux support
pkg-static: PRE-INSTALL script failed

I can easily reproduce this error on my local poudriere by not loading the module linux64.ko. If it is loaded the linux-c7-* ports build fine.
Having this fixed will give quite a lot less failed+skipped ports on aarch64.
Who can I ask to check this?

Regards,
Ronald.
