Good guess! CPUID 410fd034 is a Cortex-53 (d03) indeed. I wish we
would just print
cleartext names for the CPUs that the kernel already knows about here, I think
the fact that we just print 'ARMv7 processor' (which is wrong) and
spell out the revision
but not implementer/part/variant numbers is rather silly.

Is there a way in the boot loader to boot up a 64-bit kernel?
