How would we expect a amd64->ARM compatibility layer to work? Emulation? Do we have any reason to think that would achieve acceptable performance?

Windows already does x86 to arm (not 64bit yet) in Windows on ARM and it works fine. Can play games and stuff ok on it, so definitely "acceptable". Not sure if great, but it's definitely usable.
