Correct, this is only available for amd64.

HPS might have some more insight as to why it's amd64 only.

I have cc'd him.

It could be as simple as moving the qlnxe lines from files.amd64 to files,
but it does appear that qnlxe depends upon the Linux compat layer, which
may not be complete for arm64..
