What is the ARM alternative to Fiasco.OC? That is supporting micro-kernel
subjects as well as virtual machines.

Will it make sense if we (my team) supports Fiasco.OC if suitable
microkernel is not available for ARM?

In case of X86 Muen seems to be the best as I am interested in formal
verification like everyone else. Fiasco.OC is troublesome when it comes to
formal verification.
